To restore the public’s confidence in the outcome of our elections, they must believe in the process that governs their administration. Beyond the ability to verify a result, we must regain the trust of the voters. In accordance with and in order to uphold my statutory obligations, I will recruit and retain personnel who are experts in electronic voting systems and procedures and in electronic voting system security to field check and review electronic voting systems and issue recommendations of needed statutory and procedural changes. This includes scrutinizing and shining the light on the roles and requirements of county/vendor contractual relationships related to the administration of our elections.
