Nonbinding resolution supporting Secretary of State's refusal to share voter checklist added to Town Meeting warning
Summary
A public commenter presented a nonbinding resolution supporting Vermont Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas's refusal to turn over the nonpublic voter checklist; the Selectboard voted to add the nonbinding article to the Town Meeting Warning.
Jeanette White read a proposed nonbinding resolution for the Selectboard that praises the Secretary of State's refusal to provide Vermont's nonpublic voter checklist to the federal government and asks the Selectboard to add the resolution to the Town Meeting Warning. The statement cited Vermont law (17 V.S.A. § 2154) and constitutional authority for state control of election administration.
Fletcher Proctor moved to add Jeanette White's nonbinding article to the Warning and Aileen Tulloch seconded; the motion passed. The minutes record the text of the proposed resolution as attached; the resolution text references a federal lawsuit and urges the Selectboard to adopt the resolution in support of the Secretary of State.
