The TPPF's Election Integrity Efforts: A Closer Look at Five Battleground States
The Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) announced plans on Monday to broaden its focus on voter integrity by closely examining five battleground states ahead of the 2024 election. The foundation’s Election Protection Project will continue to concentrate on voting issues in Texas while also extending its focus to the battleground states of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Arizona, according to Josh Findlay, the project's director.
Three Key Areas of Focus
Findlay, who previously served as the first director of election integrity efforts at the Republican National Committee, outlined the project's key areas of focus during a press call on Monday. He stated, "We are looking at three things: Can the election integrity system accurately identify the people that are going to vote, can they confirm they are eligible to vote, and can we securely collect and accurately count the ballots that are going to be processed?"
Addressing Issues in Texas
In Texas, Findlay noted that the foundation would concentrate on issues that arose from Harris County, which includes the Houston area. He mentioned problems with voting machines and precincts running out of ballots.
Pressure on Battleground States
Chuck DeVore, chief national initiatives officer for the TPPF and a former California state assemblyman, highlighted the intense pressure that battleground states will face from both parties in 2024. He said, "We are looking at states where there is a significant amount of bipartisan interest in the 2024 cycle election, and you have quite a few resources into nongovernmental organizations as well as partisan organizations investing a lot of effort into trying to win each state for their respective candidate."
Working with Local Election Offices
DeVore emphasized that the TPPF will collaborate with local election offices to promote best practices, identify areas for improvement, and acknowledge successful strategies. He stressed the importance of ensuring that elections are both free and fair and that everyone can trust the results. He said, "We’ve decided to really focus our efforts on these states to really help local election officials run supremely good elections that people can have confidence in."
