FOIA Request to Rutherford County Election Department Regarding Pre-Election Voting Machine Test Reports on October 30, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Foothills Review have submitted a request for records under the North Carolina Public Records Law, G.S. §132-1. The request specifically seeks information about the pre-election testing of voting machines in electronic format.
The details we are seeking include the date of the test, the machine's manufacturer, model number, and whether it passed or failed the test. This information is crucial for us to provide transparency to the public and hold public institutions accountable.
As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we believe access to these public records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. Given our role in disseminating information, we have requested a fee waiver as a media professional.
We await a response from the Rutherford County Election Department and will keep our readers updated on any developments.
