Substitute Election Bill Sparks Senate Committee Report
Washington August 7 Senate privileges and elections committee examined a Republican substitute for the Lodge election bill. The panel voted to report the measure, with Telfer reserving floor amendments. The substitute shortens the bill, removes troop presence at polls, eliminates house to house canvass, and lowers penalties to misdemeanors with up to three years’ jail and a $1000 fine. It allows judges to appoint supervisors beyond the chief list, tightens supervisor fees, and details ballot handling and oaths to preserve testimony while leaving overall administration to local authorities.
