In their own words
Priorities
- Act as a 'neutral referee' in running elections, saying the chief election officer should be an appointed administrator.[4]
- Protect paper ballots, audits, advance voting including mail-in ballots and the three-day grace period for ballots postmarked before Election Day, while keeping rolls accurate.[4]
