The reports from the field are in from Election Day 2019 - and, as expected, many voters came away from their voting experiences with questions and concerns, whether they were still voting on an electronic device with no paper record or even experiencing their first time voting with a paper ballot. And with many jurisdictions still implementing new voting systems before next year's elections, we have a lot of work ahead of us.
Help us ensure election officials have the tools and resources they need (see one of our latest publications here) to implement best practices before the 2020 election: paper ballots (marked with a pen or using a computerized assistive device), an opportunity for voters to verify their ballots, a strong chain of custody of the ballots, rigorous post-election audits, and the funding to make it all happen.
Your support also helps keep our message front and center in the news for policymakers and members of the public alike. Here are a few highlights of the many news clips we think you’ll be interested in:
HBO's Last Week Tonight with John Oliver produced a segment on voting machines and Verified Voting consulted with the Emmy award-winning show on the content and provided our data from The Verifier
Verified Voting Board member Kevin Shelley and Board of Advisors member Wayne Williams coauthored an op-ed in Politico, “Election security isn't that hard”
It is clear that, now more than ever, we all need to be champions for election security. Help us keep strengthening our democracy for the 2020 election and future cycles with a gift today.
