Why we checked itSpecific dollar figure claimed to have been allocated to counties for voter roll work — verifiable against budget records
What we foundThe claim of exactly '$2 million allocated to counties' appears to be an approximation; the best matching allocation was $2.3 million in ARPA funds (not exclusively to counties), and subsequent allocations directed to counties have varied, with the most recent legislative approval directing $1.7 million specifically to counties as part of a larger $2.5 million package.
