A new Kansas audit says county elections security policies don't appear to be strong or detailed enough and the state doesn't appear to be giving counties enough guidance.

The report was released yesterday by the auditing arm of the Republican-controlled Legislature and was initiated amid ongoing claims of election fraud among GOP conservatives. Auditors examined election security procedures in 15 of the state’s 105 counties and found that none of those counties had comprehensive security policies or guidance. The audit found most of the counties had inadequate procedures for testing voting machines' accuracy after elections or for securing their voting machines from unauthorized access while they are deployed. Secretary of State Scott Schwab's office pushed back on the idea that it isn't providing enough guidance. Its formal response to the audit said its training for election officials deals with security issues and the office is working on more standardized policies and forms.
