Verified Voting - Strengthening Our Democracy
Feeling concerned by the news in election security this week? You’re not alone. At Verified Voting, we’re closely monitoring the many stories we believe deserve serious attention:
* The Senate Intelligence Committee just released its findings ([link removed]) on Russian targeting of U.S. elections, detailing efforts going back to 2014;
* Robert Mueller also raised the alarm ([link removed]) regarding ongoing attempts at interference in our democracy, stressing that “they're doing it as we sit here. And they expect to do it during the next campaign”;
* FBI Director Christopher Wray cautioned that China poses an even more serious ([link removed]) counterintelligence risk;
* Counties are moving forward ([link removed]) with mobile and online voting pilots, despite experts’ security concerns;
* And in the midst of all these warnings, the Senate declined ([link removed]) to advance multiple bills intended to block election interference and offer election officials assistance.

Verified Voting and our partners will continue working hard ([link removed]) to pass federal legislation that provides election officials with urgently needed funding, and to enact key security ([link removed]) measures ([link removed]) . We’re also pleased that our Board members Barbara Simons and Philip Stark will be providing input to the Board of Advisors of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission through a new election security committee, which Simons will be chairing.

At the same time, we’ll keep assisting state officials and help them implement best practices ([link removed]) like risk-limiting audits, and informing the public on how they can contribute ([link removed]) . We’ll also continue to advocate for best-practice legislation such as Oregon's ([link removed]) just-signed audit bill.

We’re grateful to you and all of our supporters who share our conviction that election security is vital to a healthy democracy. Let’s keep working together to ensure that everyone gets the message.
