John,
As Rep. Katie Porter puts it, “If I can track that my new shoes are on the way, we all certainly should be able to do the same for our ballots.”
This is why, with three other Democrats and four Republicans, Rep. Porter introduced the Vote By Mail Tracking Act. “When something is important to us,” she says, “Republicans and Democrats alike want to know it’s in good hands. Our ballots are no exception.”
More voters are using mail-in voting than ever before. We need to know our votes are being counted, whatever our political persuasion. Yet today, an order of a new pair of socks is tracked more reliably across the country.
This is because many states have no system for tracking mail-in ballots. It’s not due to a lack of technology. It’s simply a matter of enacting consistent procedures so no matter what state you live in, you can see where your ballot is.
Show your concern for this basic function of democracy and become a grassroots co-sponsor of the Vote By Mail Tracking Act now!
In these times, with bad-faith actors actively seeking to erode it, it’s more important than ever that voters have confidence in the reliability of the voting system. Knowledge of verifiable facts is the best antidote to baseless charges of voter fraud.
With USPS barcodes on standardized ballot envelopes marked with the Official Election Mail Logo, security and accessibility will be improved for all voters. Bipartisan support for this measure will help to ensure that every mail-in ballot is accounted for. Welcome to the 21st Century!
Let’s not leave up to guesswork, crossed fingers, or blind faith what we can verify directly through consistent tracking procedures.
Sign the petition and support the Vote By Mail Tracking Act now!
Thank you for advocating for the integrity of our democratic process.
