HB492

I support this vote which allows political parties to get recounts when no candidate is named on a ballot.

This is a bipartisan bill allowing the state political parties to request a recount if after a state primary there is uncertainty over whether a candidate received enough write-in votes to be placed on the general election ballot. Good for all!

HB492 is very smart to add to bills to avoid any confusion. From the bill: after a state primary there is uncertainty over whether a candidate received enough write-in votes to be placed on the general election ballot, the state political parties may request a recount. Yes, avoid uncertainty or confusion. Make the write in results more clear cut. I support this bill with the fact to stop any question to wait and wonder what is the exact, correct count especially after a primary.

Supporting, but I want partisan primaries to go away and have a single ballot primary

Bipartisan! Go for it.

This bill allows a recount when needed and seems fair to candidates.

None

I support this bill because it would allow political parties to request recounts when no candidate is named on the ballot.

Public tax money is for public schools

Perhaps this could be amended to include cases in which multiple write-in candidates are tied or nearly so

Requesting a recount should be the right of political parties. It promotes fair and transparent elections

Common sense needs to be common. If no candidate is named on a ballot, then, of course, a party should be entitled to request a recount of the votes submitted for the position. Duh!

I support HB492
