Clerks are locally elected and accountable to local citizens. This bill calls for a drastic change in the way we choose and recall the office of County Clerk a total assault on Local Control It creates and expensive and potentially abusive bureaucracy to oversee County Clerks. All of the current selection and discipline of these Clerks is changed. They are subject to a hearing on the accusation of One citizen and some of the information that is presented in the hearings done by the 'Masters' may be hidden from the public, see Section 5 of this bill. Please read the draconian language of this bill for your self.

ReplyDeleteAs a phone bank worker for several elections cycles, I've lost count of how many people say the person I've called for has moved from the family home and gone to another state as long as five years earlier. They should have been purged from the system by now. But will our Secretary of State conduct an audit or investigate if all voter registrants are citizens? Nah!
