thank you very much. >> senator klobuchar, ranking member fischer at members of the rules committee, thank you for this opportunity. i am alan farley and i have the privilege and honor to serve as administrative elections in rutherford county, tennessee. i'm honored to be here. thank you for seeking input from local election officials such as myself who serve on the front lines conducting local, state, and federal elections. many times decisions are made from a 30,000 foot view, instead of getting input from the individuals who have sleepless nights making sure everything goes flawlessly on election day. our motto is we have to be one hundred% right one hundred% of the time. we don't have the luxury of accuracy like the weatherman. rutherford county is a suburb of nashville that has a blend of political diversity, conservatives, progressives, young millennials and a college campus of 22,000 students. last week, my staff and i hosted an event for 250 of our election workers who worked in the 2020-2022 elections and they were eager to return. we discussed many topics including improvements made for the 2024 presidential cycle,
