“CREW releases legal roadmap to protect certification of the 2024 election”

From the Press Release:

CREW’s report recommends the following preventative and remedial measures:

  • State election boards, secretaries of state, attorneys general and local prosecutors should explicitly advise county officials of their non-discretionary certification duties and the penalties for non-compliance before any election, as Michigan authorities did earlier this year
     
  • States authorities should bring expedited mandamus litigation to swiftly resolve certification disputes in the state’s highest court, as New Mexico and Nevada authorities have
     
  • States should utilize mechanisms, where available, for state election officials to step in to certify elections in place of obstructionist county officials
     
  • States should utilize mechanisms, where available, for state election boards or courts to remove county officials who willfully disregard their legal duties, as North Carolina, New Mexico and Nevada have in place
     
  • If county officials willfully violate the law, state authorities should pursue appropriate civil and criminal remedies; if state authorities fail to act, then federal authorities should pursue appropriate civil and criminal remedies to protect federal voting rights.
