Day 14: Election bills on tap

Day 14: Election bills on tap

The House Government Operations Committee will hear two controversial election related bills on Tuesday afternoon.

Rep. Jefferson Burton's HB300 makes radical changes to the state's vote-by-mail system. Under the proposal, anyone who receives a ballot in the mail could no longer mail it back. Instead, they would be required to return the ballot to a polling location, where they would have to show ID.

I told you previously about Rep. Karianne Lisonbee's HB332, which would give access to Utah's voter rolls and other personal information to a company using "quantum technology." That provision is written so that only Jay Valentine, an election conspiracy theorist who has ties to MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and disgraced lawyer Sidney Powell, would meet that qualification.
