(The Center Square) – The Georgia Senate Ethics Commission advanced a bill on Thursday that would delay the ban on QR codes used to count ballots until 2028 and establish a commission to identify a new voting system. The legislation presented to the committee by Sen. Max Burns, R-Sylvania, also expands the number of risk-limiting audits, which are recounts of certain elections to verify results. Georgia lawmakers passed a bill in 2024 that would ban QR codes, effective July 1. But the bill provided no funding, and no guidance was given to election officials as to how the ballots would be counted without the codes. The legislation proposed Thursday allows election officials to use QR codes until Jan. 1, 2028. The Election Equipment Specifications and Standards Committee, as included in the legislation, is tasked with considering a replacement to the current Dominion Voting system. The committee will consist of nine members. Three will be appointed by the governor, three by House Speaker Jon Burns, and three by the Senate Committee on Assignments, a five-member panel currently chaired by Lt. Gov. Burt Jones. All three are Republicans. Democrats said they were concerned that minorities would be excluded from the committee. "Voting is a multipartisan experience," said Senate Minority Leader Kim Jackson of Stone Mountain. "Our election machines matter to Democrats and independents and Republicans alike. This is all about trust. In order to build trust, Democrats need to know that they were represented in the deep dive process and they weren't just railroaded through in a committee that's essentially a sham because you're not going to accept any amendments. Jackson pitched an amendment to allow the three members from the minority caucus in each chamber to be appointed to the committee. The amendment failed 12-4. The Ethics Committee agreed to refer the bill to the Rules Committee, which placed it on Saturday's calendar. Lawmakers plan to hold a rare Saturday session and wrap up the special session on Monday, if needed. Also on the agenda are local referendums in 77 cities and counties seeking to hold votes on a special sales tax. Senate Bill 33 allows cities and counties to use a tax, called LHOST, to offset homestead property taxes. But the voters must approve the tax first. Lawmakers are also expected to approve Gov. Brian Kemp's two-week motor fuel tax moratorium, which extended the two-month tax break passed by the General Assembly in April.

(The Center Square) – More than 1 million Minnesotans could see their Social Security benefits reduced by 2032 if Congress fails to address the program's looming insolvency. This is according to a new report from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. The report, “No State Spared: Mapping the Impact of Social Security's Insolvency,” examined the potential effects of benefit reductions if Social Security's retirement trust fund is exhausted. Currently, roughly 63 million Americans pull from Social Security's retirement program, including retirees, spouses and dependents. That is one-in-five Americans. According to the latest report from the Social Security Board of Trustees, the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund is projected to be depleted in 2032. Under current law, once the trust fund is exhausted, benefits begin to be automatically cut. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates that would result in an immediate 24% across-the-board benefit cut for all Americans receiving Social Security. For Minnesota, the impact could be significant. The report estimates that 1,025,961 Minnesotans – 17.7% of the state's population – would be affected by the reductions. That means retirees in the state could see an average monthly benefit cut of $530, the seventh-largest projected reduction among all states. It is also above the national average of $500. Researchers estimate the cuts would reduce Social Security payments in Minnesota by about $6.3 billion annually, equivalent to about 1.2% of the state's economy. Nationally, the report estimates the reduction in benefits would reduce payments by $345 billion in a single year. The committee is calling for legislators to act. “No state would be spared from the potentially devastating effects of insolvency,” the report states. “With less than seven years until Social Security is projected to be insolvent, policymakers need to enact changes to the program as quickly as possible.” John Phelan, an economist with the Minnesota-based Center of the American Experiment, argued in an article published Tuesday that Social Security's financial challenges have been decades in the making. Phelan said that Social Security largely operates as a “pay as you go” system, with taxes paid by current workers funding benefits for current retirees. Yet, as birth rates dropped off in recent decades, that meant fewer workers paying into the system. “Since 2021, however, payments out have exceeded payments in,” Phelan wrote. “As a result, the trust fund is running down to cover the gap.” Policymakers have known about the program's long-term funding problems for decades but have repeatedly failed to address them, according to Phelan. “We can't say we weren't warned,” Phelan argued. “Given that we have been aware of this problem for longer than three quarters of Americans have been alive, how has it got right down to the wire like this?” Overall, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget report found that average monthly benefit cuts are anticipated to exceed $500 in 29 states, while the economic impact of the reductions would exceed 1% of gross domestic product in 40 states. An analysis released Wednesday by SmartAsset identified Aitkin County as Minnesota's most-exposed county to potential Social Security cuts. According to the report, 11.8% of all local income in Aitkin County comes from Social Security benefits, with 5,145 residents receiving payments.

(The Center Square) – Maine oyster farmer Graham Platner is headed for an epic showdown with Republican Sen. Susan Collins in the midterm elections, backed by top Democrats continuing to largely sidestep scandals involving the Marine veteran's explicit text messages, past online comments and a covered-up Nazi tattoo. Once a nine-point leader in polls over the incumbent, the latest polls have him statistically tied. Prominent supporters on the left such as New York U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer and Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent, haven't budged in support. With analysis such as 270towin.com projecting a 48-48 deadlock and four toss-ups that include Maine, the party that roared about morality as Donald Trump was skewered in his run for president is giving its guy a pass. Platner won the Democratic primary for Maine last week, putting him on course to try and stop a sixth term for Collins. Trump's agenda and accomplishments in his final two years could hinge on the outcome. Platner has posted offensive social media posts criticizing victims of sexual assault and said white rural Americans are stupid. He has been accused – shortly after getting married – of sending sexually explicit messages to women. The tattoo in question resembles a Nazi symbol and he has since covered it up along with denial of knowing the symbol's meaning. A June 4 publishing by The New York Times included disturbing accounts from several of Platner’s ex-girlfriends, one of which said he injured her and that he knew that his tattoo resembled a Nazi symbol when he got it. Top Democrats have either refused to denounce Platner or ignore the controversies as they push to win back a majority of the U.S. Senate in the midterms. Schumer, the Senate majority leader, has repeatedly sidestepped questions about Platner even after meetings with the Maine Democrat to discuss the scandals. "I endorsed Graham Platner, we're going to beat Susan Collins and take back the Senate," Schumer told reporters recently. Others in the left flank of the Democratic Party, including Rep. Ro Khanna of California, have publicly defended Platner and recently campaigned with him. Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, member of the Democratic caucus in the chamber, also continues to back Platner. “The behavior described in the New York Times story was wrong and toxic,” Khanna said in a statement. "Graham has acknowledged that and sought redemption. The people of Maine deserve a senator who is going to stand up to the billionaire class, against genocide, and for the working class." But the growing controversies appear to be impacting his support with those that matter most – voters. Tuesday’s poll from Next Up/Wick put Platner ahead of Collins 48%-45% and last Friday’s Quantus Insights sampling had Platner ahead 46%-45%. Each was within the margin of error, meaning the polling is a statistical tie. A June 4 poll release from UMass Lowell had Platner ahead 48%-43%. That’s the same day the New York Times article published. A May 27 poll release from the University of New Hampshire had Platner comfortably ahead 51%-42%; a week earlier, Pan Atlantic’s polling had Platner ahead 48%-41%. Platner has acknowledged his issues and has asked Maine voters to "overlook" his past transgressions as the general election approaches. “Throughout this campaign, I’ve been open about what was a very dark period of my life where I struggled with undiagnosed PTSD, too often self medicated with alcohol, and was far from a perfect boyfriend,” he said in a statement. "I take responsibility for all of that, and wish I had been better. Any characterization beyond that is false, and I believe, politically motivated. "I’m not proud of who I was then, but I am proud of the work I’ve done since, and the movement we are building in Maine." His campaign has also pushed back against claims made in the Times article, pointing out that one of the women making the allegations – Lyndsey Fifield – has worked for Republican candidates and causes in the past. Republicans say Platner is a "damaged" candidate and that top Democrats' silence on Platner's controversies is hypocritical after they repeatedly criticized President Donald Trump for his past misogynistic and bombastic rhetoric. "It's very hypocrictical," said Kristina Parker, a spokeswoman for the Maine Republican Party. "They're more scared of him being independent minded like John Fetterman than of him being a Nazi. And they're willing to overlook his often violent rhetoric." Fetterman is the Democratic senator from Pennsylvania. State Rep. Katrina Smith, the House's assistant minority leader, said she finds it "appalling that Democrats continue to make excuses for a man who has, even recently, demeaned and disrespected women." "Their refusal to condemn someone who has become a national embarrassment calls into question their claims to stand for women, working families, and victims of sexual assault," she said. Maine Republican Party Chairman Jim Deyermond, chairman of the Maine Republican Party, said it's "disturbing" that state and national Democrats are still attaching themselves to his campaign. "There are too many reasons to list why Graham Platner is a bad candidate," Deyermond said. "Graham Platner lacks poise and character. He is out of control, and it seems he always has been."

(The Center Square) – Florida counties could lose over $11 billion per year under the property tax relief proposal going before voters in November, according to a bill analysis. The constitutional amendment would provide a $150,000 exemption the first year and a $250,000 exemption the next year. If approved by voters, the recurring impact on property tax revenue is projected to be $11.86 billion a year. Whether local municipalities can handle a financial adjustment of that magnitude remains debated. Florida’s Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia, who is supportive of the property tax relief proposal, says he has uncovered $3.6 billion in excessive, wasteful local government spending and expects to find more. This week, Ingoglia said he found Osceola County’s budget increased by over 102% since fiscal year 2019-2020. “A budget increase of this magnitude for Osceola County is further proof that local governments have not been good stewards of taxpayer dollars. Local officials would rather keep their large, bloated budgets than offer meaningful tax relief to their residents,” said Ingoglia. “The excessive wasteful spending identified in Osceola County to the tune of $165 million is money that could have remained in the pockets of the families that live here. This is why voters will finally be able to get real property tax relief on the ballot in November.” Others argue the issue is not that simple. President of the non-profit Florida Policy Project Jeff Brandes says the question is not “how big is the county budget” but rather “how much property tax supported revenue is being lost?” The Florida Policy Project is a nonprofit organization that researches and promotes evidence-based policy solutions on issues including criminal justice, insurance, transportation and housing with the goal of improving quality of life in Florida. “When evaluating a property tax cut, don’t compare the loss to the county’s total budget. That’s the wrong denominator. County budgets are made up of dozens of separate funds. Utilities, solid waste, gas taxes, impact fees, grants, transportation funds, and tourist taxes are often legally restricted to specific purposes. The fund that matters most is the General Fund. That’s the fund that pays for many core government services and is heavily supported by property taxes,” said Brandes. He used Bay County’s $734 million budget as an example, pointing out that its General Fund is just $281.7 million, which means a potential $41 million reduction if the property tax relief proposal is passed would mean a 14.5% drop in the General Fund. The concern, Brandes said, is whether local municipalities can maintain their independence. “What started as a debate about taxes is becoming a debate about power. If counties and cities become dependent on state funding, local control becomes an illusion. Because when Tallahassee writes the checks, Tallahassee writes the rules. And that’s a very different amendment than the one most voters think they’re debating,” said Brandes.
