Subject: Solidarity Request From Arcata, CA (Voter Confidence Resolution)

Dear xxx:

I understand your time is valuable so I’ll make this quick. Please take a second and ask yourself:

When 30% of the votes cannot be verified, is there really a basis for confidence in the results reported from U.S. federal elections?

Recently in Arcata, CA, the City Council adopted the groundbreaking Voter Confidence Resolution affirming that indeed, there is no basis for confidence given that unverifiable votes, privatized source code, and secret vote counting ensure inconclusive election outcomes. The Voter Confidence Resolution includes a comprehensive election reform platform designed to ensure conclusive outcomes and create a new basis for confidence in our election results.

I invite you to join the chorus of American citizens and their local officials who are questioning whether the Consent of the Governed is even being sought. To better understand what the Voter Confidence Resolution is and what we hope it will do, please see this primer:
