1. "The audit must be conducted by persons with great experience in electoral politics. No person who did not work on the 2008, 2012 and 2016 elections may participate in this audit."

2. "The audit must look for signs of voter fraud in each of Texas' 254 counties."

3. "All persons participating in the audit must have lived in Texas for 10 years prior to their selection to the audit panel. The third-party organization selected to conduct the audit must be domiciled in Texas. Preference will be given to a political science department affiliated with one of Texas' six public university systems."

4. "The audit panel must have equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans."

5. "The total cost of the audit will be paid for by a tax on incomes."

6. "The total cost of replacing any voting equipment made unusable by the audit must be borne by the Texas Republican Party."

7. The results of the audit will be published on January 5, 2022. At a minimum, the publication will occur in the Dallas Morning News, Houston Chronicle, Austin American-Statesman, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung, Bryan-College Station Eagle, San Antonio Express-News, El Paso Times and Abilene Reporter-News. The results will also be broadcast on every ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox affiliate operating in or transmitting into the State of Texas.

8. "If voter fraud sufficient to affect the results of the election is not discovered, all Texas Legislature members who voted to approve the audit will resign after the findings of the audit have been published."
