No Regrets in November, Secure our Elections Now
We, the undersigned, call on you to make sure there’s a paper ballot for every vote cast, for enough ballots to be checked against the machine count to ensure the outcome was correct, and to do everything in your power to protect and back up voter rolls on paper in case of a hack or error.
We, in turn, pledge to support ongoing funding for election security.

Why is this important?
On November 7, 2018, we don’t want to be wringing our hands thinking the election results were fishy, but there’s no way to recount or check if the results were right.
In order to have secure elections we need:
- Paper: Paper ballot and scanner voting systems
- Audits: A check to ensure the vote totals reported by scanners actually match the paper ballots that voters cast
- Secure Voter Rolls: Secure voter registration databases with paper back ups
We know what we need to do, but in far too many states, election officials at the state and local level need funding and political will to make it happen.
Tell your election officials it’s time to secure the vote.
