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 op-ed 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 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 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 makes our work possible. Will you join us today?
Thank you for being a champion of democracy. Your donation powers our work to ensure that every voter has a voice and thatevery election is secure, transparent, and fair.
In solidarity,
Pamela Smith, President & CEO
