Elections

Tell Your Friends to Lobby for a Paper Trail

Tell your friends to call their Representative today and urge them to support a bill for a voter-verified paper ballot (HR550), which has been introduced by Representative Rush Holt (D-NJ). The Holt bill sets a high standard for integrity and security, while acknowledging the need for accessibility. Its passage would go a long way to make our election system more secure and give voters confidence in their vote.


Give 550,000 Americans in D.C. Voting Rights

The DC Voting Rights Act will be considered by the Committee for Government Reform this Thursday. This bill, H.R. 5388, DC Fair and Equal House Voting Rights Act, is a fair and politically viable way of correcting an injustice that has existed for over 200 years by giving the citizens of the District of Columbia voting representation in the House.

Tell Congress We Want Meaningful Election Reform

It's time for Congress to step up to the plate and fix the broken system. Voters must be able to trust that their votes will be counted and that the election will be fair, open to all qualified citizens, and auditable. We must be able to feel confident that machine manufacturers and election officials answer to no interests except those of the voters.
