PFAW Member,

We are at a pivotal moment for our democracy and we are facing
unprecedented attacks on our elections.

We must make sure that Congress funds election security as soon as
possible, opportunities to secure the 2020 elections are being lost each
day.

Election security experts are warning that our voting systems are
vulnerable, and Intelligence officials have said that if we don’t act now,
2016 could be just the beginning compared to what is to come in 2020. In
fact, early reports seem to indicate that Russia and other countries have
already begun their attempts to meddle in the 2020 elections.

[ [link removed] ]URGENT ACTION NEEDED: email your senators now to demand $600 million in
funding for election security with accountability language, in the
upcoming funding bill.>>

Too many states and localities have vulnerable election systems, including
voting machines that connect to WiFi and others with no paper ballots and
voter data poorly protected.

Every voter should be given the choice to either mark a paper ballot by
hand or with an assistive device that allows them to verify their vote on
paper. Without paper ballots and strong audits to check the machine count
against a sample of paper ballots, as well as other cyber safeguards, our
voting system is extremely vulnerable to hacking and foul play.

After receiving pressure from advocates like you, Mitch McConnell finally
committed to just $250 million to the effort to secure our elections, but
it has not yet passed, and that is not nearly enough.

[ [link removed] ]Email your senators today and urge them to secure or elections now
before its too late.>>

Together, we can secure funding and the accountability needed to secure
our elections and protect our democracy.

Thank you,

- Zach, PFAW
