Talking Points:
- Promotes partisan influence over voter access
- Not all precinct positions in both parties are occupied, so this bill would allow one party to have greater influence in voter data management
- Utilizing partisan precinct captains in non-partisan administration work reinforces a two party system that disenfranchises third-party and independent voters
