Tuesday, Dec. 7 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Room G-50 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington DC

Common Cause is teaming with the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights and The Century Foundation to conduct this day-long non-partisan presentation that will feature members of Congress, state officials, electronic voting machine experts and organizations that had workers on the ground on Election Day, observing and collecting information.

In addition, Common Cause will release a preliminary report based on extensive election monitoring activities, which included participation running a national voter alert line (1-866-MYVOTE1) that received nearly 210,000 phone calls from 50 states, more than 1,000 election monitors nationwide and the collection of more than 1,700 voters' stories on our website. Using this unprecedented amount of non-partisan data, Common Cause and other participants will help reveal the most accurate picture of what actually happened on Election Day.

Members of Congress scheduled to make statements include Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH), Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), and Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ).

Other featured speakers include Barbara Arnwine, executive director, Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights, Jehmu Greene, president, Rock the Vote, Wade Henderson, executive director, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, Ralph Neas, president, People for the American Way, Leslie Reynolds, executive director of the National Association of Secretaries of State.

Participating organizations include the American Civil Liberties Union, American Families United, the Brennan Center for Justice, Demos, Electionline.org, George Washington School of Law, Johns Hopkins University, Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, National Association of Secretaries of State, Rock the Vote, The Advancement Project and Verified Voting.
