Ensure Vote Count Accuracy - in a nutshell [View All]

This one page (two-sided) handout describes practical do-able ways to ensure accurate vote counts in future U.S. elections. It is targeted to election officials. Please pass this out to your county and township election officials and county officials and push for its implementation.

FYI, the National Election Data Archive (also US Count Votes) needs to grow its base. We only have 1,300 members of our email announcements list and $1400/month in donations and we need to have 100,000 and $20,000/month donations very soon to build the National Election Data Archive database that we've designed.

We have not had even enough to pay for our expenses and a stipend for one person yet. To successfully run a nonprofit business, and especially one with a big technical project to build takes a team of full-time people.

Please help us/join our effort which is the most commonsense approach to fixing the integrity of elections.

Or consider joining our Board and spendoing time helping. I cannot keep trying to do the work of six people - and I'm not very good at it either.

I should be writing a response to the Election Science Institute analysis of the OH exit poll data and a history of the academic debate surrounding the exit poll discrepancies and trying to get our latest papers signed and published and write comments for the U.S. Election Assistance Commission voting system guidelines and I can't do anything effectively because instead I'm trying to get our 501-3c status, raise funds, create marketing materials, run a business, make contacts with state election directors to obtain data, etc. while I let my personal life fall apart. Plus I am the founder and leader of Utah Count Votes (see http://utahcountvotes.org) It looks like after much work we may've succeeded in stopping the state-wide adoption of Diebold DREs and that four counties (over half the state's population) will adopt a paper ballot optiscan system instead. We'll know by Sept. 9th and it's been an incredible battle with the Lt. Governor's office inventing untrue stories about me in press releases here.

Without funding, adequate supporters on our email list or help, NEDA cannot become a reality and that means we'll continue to have elections which are completely open to insider embezzlement, innocent errors and electronic failures determining the results. It takes a long time to figure out and write the papers that need to be put out.

Here is an important report I made of the recent National Association of State Election Director's Conference I attended:
