Bringing this up from the past because the "system" will need an inspection and overhaul. There are many such organizations from the federal to county and city level for election officials, treasurers, auditors, AG's and SOS. I am not advocating for Federal centralization. However, given the outside influence already in the "system," it's essentially centralized anyway:

"As the officials who oversee the 50-state incorporation process in the U.S., Secretaries of State are dedicated to assisting federal law enforcement in cracking down against criminals who attempt to hide behind front companies and shell entities. Since 2010, NASS has promoted measures to help federal law enforcement gain access to company ownership information disclosed through federal tax filings and financial disclosure reports."

In some states, the SOS can introduce election legislation if sponsored by persons in the states congress. The SOS is a key position in many respects to our elections. The SOS ability if states grant it, to submit legislation you will almost never hear about yet it's fundamental to a free Republic that you know what is going on. That would hold for anything the SOS oversees.

Just because a bill gets signed doesn't mean it's over. It has to go in the codifying process then, I'm fuzzy on this, rules and regulations. It is my suspicion that this is part of the deep state certain actors want maintained as is. That bill you thought would do what it says can end up not quite what was sold.

codify

To codify means to arrange laws, rules, or regulations into a systematic code. The process of codification can involve taking judicial decisions or legislative acts and turning them into codified law. This process does not necessarily create new law, it merely arranges existing law, usually by subject, into a code.

For example, in the United States, acts of Congress are codified chronologically in the order in which they became law at Congress.gov. Additionally, the United States Code codifies those federal statutes by subject matter instead.

The codification of law helps identify inconsistent, duplicate, and/or ambiguous laws. Additionally, codification creates a uniform source that is easy to access for both professionals and the lay public.

That said, although codifications are useful for finding information, courts sometimes refer back to the original legislation or judicial proceeding when interpreting a codified law in order to understand the intent of the creator of the law.

I grabbed a description of one state, XXXX, with its dates, XXXX for a general idea. Happens at state and federal level:

After the bill is signed by the Governor or is passed by the Legislature over the Governor’s veto, it is sent to the Secretary of State, who is the custodian of original copies of all bills enacted into law. Bills normally go into effect XXXX following their approval, unless another date is specified in the bill. Bills passed by the Legislature before XXX but signed by the Governor after XXX

become effective XXX. The enacted bills are then printed in the Acts of the General Assembly, published after each legislative session. The portions of the enacted bills that are laws of a permanent nature are incorporated into the XXX(State) Code, a compilation of XXX laws published every year in electronic format and every other year in print by the Legislative Services Agency

Got a bit of a wacko as governor. Don't know what voting system is in use. She tried to ban guns:

She fits right in with Kamala Harris:

Since that state went to all mail in voting, it will probably remain blue- even if those ballots are majority red. Like Oregon.
