The 2016 election revealed the power of cyber interference to undermine our democracy. Elections in 47 states remain at risk, either because the states need paper-based voting systems, or state law lacks robust ballot audits, or both. There are simple, easily implementable solutions:·
Voter-marked Paper Ballots – Electronic voting systems that count votes by scanning voter-marked paper ballots leverage technology to quickly count votes but also preserve the ability to check that votes were counted as cast. Routine post-election audits – Statistically meaningful manual counts of paper ballots are the best way, given current technology, to verify electronic tallies and ensure that votes are counted as cast and the election outcome is correct. Improved security practices for all electoral systems – Cyber security practices, crafted by Verified Voting’s team of renowned experts, are needed to protect voter registration databases and epollbooks from error and malicious interference.
Generations have fought to expand the right to vote, and millions of charitable dollars are spent ensuring access to the vote. Now it’s up to us to honor those sacrifices and investments by ensuring your vote not only counts, but is counted as cast!
