Reply #77: Fear about a stolen election..... [View All]

[stillcool]

in my state, is not enough for me to change my vote, or change how I respond to insults. My state uses Optical Scan Voting Systems. While I have written my Secretary of State to enact a standard recount after every election, no action has been taken yet. I doubt many people here are concerned about their votes counting. That fear doesn't seem to come into play until after or on the day of the election. Threats to vote Republican suggest that they thoroughly believe their vote will be counted.

VerifiedVoting.org, our partners, and voters across the country have successfully persuaded the majority of state governments to pass legislation or establish regulations to require VVPR. 28 states, with more than half the U.S. population, now have such a requirement. We need your help to make sure the voters in the remaining 22 states are protected, through Federal or state legislation.

But we need to do even more to ensure that the results of elections are verifiable. Voter-verified paper records are most effective when used as the basis for mandatory manual audits in randomly selected precincts. Step 2 of our strategy is to encourage states to adopt laws or regulations requiring such mandatory manual audits of the VVPRs. As the map below shows, 13 states have such a requirement now. We need your help to pass laws in the remaining 37 states to require such audits.
