Friday News Roundup

[dramatic music] For Civic Media News, I'm Connie Fellman.

Despite national debates over election rules and security, Wisconsin election officials say voters can expect the same procedures at the polls this November as in the past.

At a forum hosted Wednesday by Keep Our Republic and UW-Stevens Point, Wisconsin Elections Commission administrator Meagan Wolfe outlined safeguards already in place.

Those included paper ballots, public testing of voting equipment, and post-election audits to verify results.

The discussion also addressed possible federal changes.

Former US Attorney John Vaudrey pointed to the proposed SAVE Act, which would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.

The legislation has passed the US House, but has not become law.
