Interesting development from the usually mundane Management Audit Committee...

@ChuckForWyoming made a motion to draft a bill to give the #WYLeg the ability to audit elections.

It failed with just two in-favor, but I couldn't see who.

Debate here:
The proposal was this:

Right now, the Wyoming Department of Audit handles financial and performance audits, mostly. But they are under the executive branch.

Gray wanted to bring it into the Legislative branch and give it the ability to audit elections, citing AZ.
Counties already audit their own elections and, to-date, we have had just a handful of fraud cases in the last several decades.

But Gray has made "election integrity" a centerpiece of his Congressional campaign, building off his successful voter ID bill last year.

Good morning all, the #WYLeg is back. Lots of exciting stuff on the docket this morning.

In House Minerals, lots of energy bills this a.m. youtube.com/channel/UCZNA0…

I'm in House Judiciary, but am keeping an eye on Medicaid Exansion in Senate Labor.
Senate Education is also hearing their own school finance amendments. The House Education Committee has already rolled tens of millions of dollars off of their recommendations.
Gonna livetweet Medicaid here. @rothfuss is sponsoring the bill and presenting it right now. Notes 38 states (plus D.C) throughout the country have expanded Medicaid, and none have chosen to undo it.

Basics, 50% federal match but, because of the CARES Act, we could get more.
