The chairman of the Senate Government and Veterans Affairs Committee believes the political climate that lingers from last year s election is the reason for a high number of voting and election-related bills before the North Dakota Legislature.
âI think this is the highest that I recall,â said Sen. Shawn Vedaa, R-Velva. âI think the intentions are to improve (the laws), but many times (sponsors) donât understand (the issues) themselves.â
Vedaa believes North Dakota elections have always been safe and most of the bills being brought up are a reaction to the 2020 election.
This is reflected on the national level as well, as the Brennan Center, a nonpartisan law and policy institute, reported last month that 250 bills proposed in 43 states this year relate to elections and voting.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - Cape Girardeau’s population size has made itself a hub for employment.
A possible change by the federal government may now limit your chances of working.
“If it goes to the type of guidelines they used before we would not make it,” said John Mehner, president of the Cape Girardeau Area Chamber of Commerce.
He said the Cape Girardeau area became an MSA, a metropolitan statistical area, after reaching the 50,000-population mark in the 2010 census.
