Dear John,

In recent days, unfounded calls to eliminate mail voting and voting machines have dominated the news ([link removed]) — we’re here with the facts to push back against false claims that seek to undermine your vote:

✔️FACT: No president has the authority to run elections

Here’s([link removed]) our President & CEO, Pamela Smith: “Elections in the United States are run by the states as an intentional protection in our Constitution([link removed]) to prevent concentrated executive power. No president has the authority to dictate how Americans vote.”

✔️FACT: Most voters already vote with paper ballots

The vast majority of voters will use paper ballots or records in the 2026 election — our team tracks voting equipment with our go-to Verifier tool ([link removed]) to keep you informed.

✔️FACT: Hand counting all ballots on election night would be a “vast challenge”

While hand counts ([link removed]) are crucial for checking election outcomes in post-election audits and recounts ([link removed]), widespread expansion of hand counting would impair election administration and delay results for weeks rather than seeing results by “the evening,” as was claimed. Read more in Policy & Strategy Director Mark Lindeman’s latest interview with Politifact here ([link removed]), and take a deeper dive in our resource: “Election Night Hand Counts: Realities and Risks ([link removed]).”

✔️FACT: Verified Voting is hard at work to safeguard our elections

Amidst the administration’s efforts to wage disinformation and undermine options that millions of voters rely on like mail or early voting, our expertise is more vital than ever. We prioritize strengthening our elections by expanding robust post-election audits, calling on the federal government to reinstate cybersecurity protections, and advocating for election officials to have support and funding to administer our democracy.

We need your support now. Can we count on you with a donation today?

With thanks,
Corrie Emerson, Communications Director
