Wash Sec of State touts progressive voting reforms, but warns HR1 is 'over-prescriptive' and 'problematic'
Fox News
The state of Washington is known for having in place the type of progressive election procedures that Democrats are now trying to pass on a national scale, but Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman warned that Congress is going about it the wrong way with their sweeping bill known as HR1.
"Building an elections system that balances access and security took time, money, bipartisan collaboration, and the active engagement of state and local election administrators working closely with legislators to constantly improve our processes," Wyman told a House Administration subcommittee on Thursday during a hearing titled, "Voting in America: Ensuring Free and Fair Access to the Ballot." Wyman expressed pride in her state's ability to conduct a thoughtful process that resulted in rules that satisfied those on the left while addressing concerns of possible voter fraud – a common issue raised by conservatives. She cautioned that HR1 does not allow for such a process, and took power out of the hands of state and local officials.More Related News
