I enjoyed meeting members of the Republican Women of Madison today.
I was especially glad I could share with them that Senate Bill 46 cleared a committee in the State House of Representatives today and now heads to a floor vote.
The bill, by my State Senator, Clyde Chambliss, prohibits remote connectivity to our voting machines through the use of the internet, telephony, Bluetooth, near field communications (NFC), and similar technologies.
Once the bill is approved by the State House, it will go back to the State Senate for approval of adding the language about Bluetooth, NFC, and similar technologies.
If you are concerned about hacking of our voting machines through the use of the internet and other similar technologies, I encourage you to contact you State Representative and State Senator.
