Senator Wendy Rogers voted yes on SB 1038, making clear that the fight for election transparency and election integrity is not optional and will not be abandoned no matter how many times it is vetoed.
SB 1038 requires county recorders to release critical election records within one hour of polls closing, including a public list of who voted and the cast vote record (CVR) in a sortable, unaltered format. These records do not reveal how anyone voted — they allow the public to verify that election results match the data.
The bill has cleared the Legislature before. It has passed committees, passed floor votes, and survived every step of the legislative process, only to be stopped by a gubernatorial veto. Senator Rogers has made it clear that a veto does not erase the will of the voters or the duty of the Legislature:
“Just because the bill got vetoed last year doesn’t mean we’re not going to run it again and again and again… The people send us down here to do their work. And so we’re going to continue to revisit these issues because the people want us to represent them.”
