The US House of Representatives in June 2019 passed the Secure And Fair Elections Act. Senator Mitch McConnell has not allowed a vote on this, along with 121 other bills passed by the House.
We think there’s nothing more pressing than verifying our votes. We’ve made a tool that makes it extremely easy for anyone to contact the elections decision-makers in their local, state and Federal governments to demand paper ballots and risk-limiting audits, effectively immediately. There is nothing more sacred or worth protecting than the actual casting of a vote.
There are a growing number of people who are gravely concerned about the security of our electoral system. The decision-making about systems happens at the local levels of government. We want to make it easy for anyone to demand that we, the people, will only accept votes if they’re on paper.
There is much to be done, but it only takes a little bit of effort from a lot of people.
Take Action
It only takes a minute or two to tweet and email every government official connected to elections at the local, state and Federal level. You can even do with one hand! It might take a little bit longer to call everyone’s office and demand paper ballots everywhere, immediately, no excuses. Just do it!
