When it comes time for a party led by election deniers to count ballots, trust is inevitably hard to come by. Chairman Dave Williams, along with former state Rep. Ron Hanks, a fellow election fraud conspiracist whom Williams has appointed Chair of the party’s Ballot & Election Security Committee, are in a tough spot. They must placate the anti-machine majority (in which they claim to include themselves) who insist on hand-counting only, while at the same time attempt to administer a functional election and tabulation process involving thousands of ballots and dozens of candidates, resolutions and committee positions. Their task is made even more difficult in the wake of their last assembly tabulation disaster in 2022, when numerous candidates accused then-Chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown of rigging the electronic vote clickers.
