The Convention of States Senate District 1 held its monthly meeting at 11 a.m. on Sept. 11 at Texas Music City Grill & Smokehouse in Tyler.
The meeting's presentation was titled “The Maze of Election Company Connections" and focused on presenting the genealogy of the voting machines utilized in the country. It covered topics about several companies and their history.
Operating under the rule, specifically in Article 5, COS is working toward its effort for an amending convention. It means there are procedures that should be followed including limitations stated in Article 5 in the Convention of States.
“Our Convention of State resolution proposes amendment on the three subject matters, which include imposing fiscal restraints on Washington, limiting federal power and jurisdiction and setting term limits for federal officials,” Rita Dunaway, senior vice president of legislative affairs for the national COS team, stated in an interview, according to the Hawkeye Reporter.
The organization stresses that it is not after a constitutional convention that would seek to completely rewrite the framework of government and deliver a new constitution. An amending convention only offers particular amendments to the existing constitution. These amendments must then be ratified by 38 States before becoming officially part of the Constitution.
Convention of States has already passed their resolution in 15 states, including Texas. At present, it has more than 3 million supporters since it was founded nearly eight years ago, according to COS.
