This bill tightens election security and transparency. Voting and counting machines cannot connect to the internet or allow remote access. Ports must be sealed, and every handoff is logged. Systems must follow federal cybersecurity best practices, use unique passwords each election, and keep logs for 22 months. Two observers from different parties must oversee removable drives, and nonstop video of counting centers goes online. Breaking these rules is a Class 1 misdemeanor. These steps aim to boost trust in results.
