Analysis of AB 840—Bill to make it Difficult to Prove Vote Fraud

“3) Requires the instructions that accompany the unsigned ballot statement to inform a voter that a completed unsigned ballot statement may be submitted by email.

4) Requires an elections official to provide the elections official’s email address on the Internet Web site containing the unsigned ballot statement and instructions.

The Senate amendments:

1) Specify that the one percent manual tally of ballots cast are those canvassed during the

semiofficial canvass and do not include provisional ballots.”
