The continuing increase in turnover of officials running elections in this country is a problem that requires public policy to correct and public education to understand. In this profession experience is key for any election official. An important read! bipartisanpolicy.org/report/electio…
Bipartisan Group Issues Ethical Standards for Election Admin. Led by @cstewartiii @MITelectionlab, @nyulaw Bauer & @BenLGinsberg @HooverInst, articulates role of ethical standards in conduct of elections & contrib. to public confidence in election process. bit.ly/3HITk4t
This is INCREDIBLE: Rep. Stacey Plaskett BRILLIANTLY schools Jim Jordan about the hypocrisy of chairing a weaponization committee, but not being interested in Trump's open threats to weaponize the government.
Looking forward to working with Kim Wyman at BPC. She brings a depth of election expertise and knows how to get things done. Congratulations BPC - good move! bipartisanpolicy.org/press-release/…
Making elections boring again is great goal! Check out this post from the Bipartisan Policy Center: bipartisanpolicy.org/report/policy-…
This has been rumor in Lansing for years. Tonight, the light of transparency begins to shine in.

Where is justice for Pete Martel? He lost his job. Part of forgiveness is making things right. Not just words. Justice Bernstein has more to do. freep.com/story/sports/c…
Issuing a press release about an apology does not reverse the wrong done to Peter Martel. Better to fix mistakes rather than issue press releases. freep.com/story/news/pol…
#ICYMI: We hosted six panel discussions with elected leaders and foremost experts, moderated by journalists on the frontlines of democracy, voting, and election issues. Watch the #ElectionsSummit22 recording here. 👇 youtu.be/07rzZDeXHec

That’s a wrap from the #ElectionsSummit22! We want to know: What was your biggest takeaway from today?
Right now, Congress is considering $400 million in funding for election infrastructure in next year’s budget. It’s essential that that they include this investment to help election officials prepare for the 2024 election.
The best crowd for @BPC_Bipartisan #ElectionsSummit22
If you followed the @BPC_Bipartisan Summit today, you’re ready for today’s episode. Tuesday night isn’t our usual schedule, but we wanted to drop this one before tomorrow’s oral argument. cc: @mattiweil @RachelOrey @ZachMontellaro @ThorningMichael kbia.org/2022-12-06/s2e…
.@BPC_Bipartisan continues to knock it out of the park with the panel line-ups for #ElectionsSummit22! Onward we go into the realm of legislation & reform.
Putting aside the misguided expectations the petitioners hold, a recount is the best audit available. The ballots marked by voters will be hand-counted. The results will track the election night returns. Theses ballots reflect the will of the voters.

The Detroit City Clerk's Central Count Center where Absent Voter Counting Boards processed and tabulated and balanced over 80,000 ballots was an unqualified success!

Key provisions if Prop 2 passes: 9 days of in-person early voting lets people scan regular ballot into tabulator on site - additional option beyond absentee voting. And absentee voters will get ballot automatically every election instead of having to submit application each time.

The @detroitnews story being discussed on Meet the Press this morning:

Hi @RonnaMcDaniel 👋🏼 I also “regret the fact that people are being threatened for doing their job.” For the last 3+ years professional election workers have been threatened because of yours & others’ lies. No amount of memory lapses changes that reality. detroitnews.com/story/news/pol…

Larry Lee was instrumental in building Gongwer into the news and information source it is today. We are ecstatic about his induction into the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame!
