“It is important we maintain all of the voting public’s confidence in our elections and this is a positive first step in the right direction.”

House Majority Leader, Peterson, also said: “a significant number of voters believe that fraud occurred and with the number of irregularities, it is easy to understand why.

“Especially concerning are the allegations made surrounding the vendor Dominion. It is imperative that the County immediately do a forensic audit on the Dominion software and equipment to make sure the results were accurate.”

They advocated the need for expeditious action on this audit.

The November Presidential election in the US won by Joe Biden of the Democrats was rejected by President Donald Trump of the Republicans on allegations of irregularities.
