(11) In certain newly enacted State policies, 
these appointed statewide election administrators 
have been granted wide latitude to suspend or re-
move local election administrators in cases where the 
statewide election administrators identify whatever 
the State deems to be a violation. There is no re-
quirement that there be a finding of intent by the 
local election administrator to commit the violation. 
(12) Local election administrators across the 
country can be suspended or removed according to 
different standards, potentially exposing them to dif-
ferent political pressures or biases that could result 
in uneven administration of Federal elections. 
(13) The Elections Clause grants Congress the 
ultimate authority to ensure that oversight of State 
and local election administrators is fair and impar-
