Dear Friend,

Before we gather with our friends and family on Thanksgiving, the team at Verified Voting is gathering around our table (well, our conference room table and video screens!) to remind ourselves what we are thankful for this holiday season:

Risk-Limiting Audit Pilots! More states on our map are joining the charge by conducting RLAs and RLA pilots, and we’re especially thankful for the audit pilot work we’ve done this year in states like Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
 

Election officials and coalition partners! We are grateful to collaborate with election officials and our coalition partners to adopt best practices and help make sure every vote counts across the country.
 

New tools in our toolbox! Check out a few of the guides and publications we've developed this year to help officials implement best practices:

• Our new "Risk Limiting Audit Methods” chart
• “Characteristics of Currently Available Ballot Marking Devices” chart
• “Report on Rhode Island Risk Limiting Audit Pilot Implementation Study”
• Our updated “Policy on Direct Recording Electronic Voting Machines and Ballot Marking Devices”

And most importantly, you! Because of your support, we are making progress towards ensuring our votes are safe and secure. But we still need your help to #Validate2020. Please consider giving to our campaign, and giving us even more to celebrate for the coming election cycle.
