Dear John,

With recent federal cuts, our ability to hold free and fair elections, the cornerstone of our democracy, is under threat. Agencies charged with protecting our elections have been subjected to mass layoffs—I just coauthored a Newsweek ([link removed]) op-ed ([link removed]) delving into the devastating consequences of these cuts. While the federal government de-prioritizes election security and eliminates vital infrastructure that supports local elections offices, Verified Voting plays an even more critical role in safeguarding our democracy.

We remain steadfast in our commitment ([link removed]) to ensuring all voters can cast a ballot free from barriers, that every vote is counted as cast, and that our democratic foundations remain strong. But we cannot do this alone. Your support ([link removed]) is needed—now—to protect the future of free and fair elections.

Verified Voting is on the frontlines:
✔️ Improving post-election audits
✔️ Defending voting rights and the right to a secret ballot
✔️ Advancing better alternatives to insecure internet voting
✔️ Providing facts and data tools that are crucial to combating disinformation

Democracy only works if we actively defend and uphold it. Your support ([link removed]) makes our work possible. Will you join us today?
Donate now ([link removed])
Thank you for being a champion of democracy. Your donation powers our work to ensure that every voter has a voice and that every election is secure, transparent, and fair.

In solidarity,
Pamela Smith, President & CEO

P.S. Do you have a Donor Advised Fund? If you make a grant to us and commit to spend down half the money in your DAF by September 26, we will be eligible to receive matching funds. Details at www.halfmydaf.com.
