Press release:
Senator Rath, ranking member on the State Senate Elections Committee, wrote to every Election Commissioner in the State encouraging them to share their suggestions and input on how the elections system can be improved and assure that voters have confidence in the system.
“It is critical that we look at the 2020 election and see what went right and what went wrong. From there we can make informed decisions about what needs to be changed or enhanced.
"Our Elections Commissioners know firsthand and their insight is crucial to the success of our future elections. Equally as important, is assuring that the public has the utmost faith and respect in our elections system.
"This is only the beginning of the conversation and I look forward to hearing what our Commissioners have to share,” said Senator Rath.
Senator Rath will also be attending the Elections Committee’s virtual public hearing on Friday, Jan. 29.
