Next week, voters nationwide will head to the polls for a variety of elections—from local municipal contests to high profile gubernatorial races—and scrutiny about the integrity of our elections has ramped up, especially around voting processes. As a former election official, I have a unique perspective on why our work at the nonpartisan Election Protection 866-Our-Vote hotline is so important. We’re monitoring and troubleshooting voting machine issues in real time to ensure every voter’s voice is heard, and our commitment to protecting elections continues long after the polls close.
However, we face a significant budget gap that must be closed by the end of the year. Verified Voting receives no federal funding. This independence allows us to maintain our objectivity and focus solely on the facts, free from external influence. However, it also means we rely on the generous support of individuals like you. Your contribution directly fuels our work to:
Protect the validity of elections by putting crucial guardrails in place, advancing robust post-election audits and demystifying the processes that confirm election results.
Provide facts, data, and resources that are foundational to free and fair elections
Defeat unsafe, unverifiable mobile & internet voting that continues to crop up across the country
… and so much more. And right now, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar up to $50,000 by an anonymous supporter. Â
The need is great everywhere—but in these challenging times, your support for Verified Voting is a crucial investment in the future of free and fair elections. Please consider a donation today.Â
Warmly,
Jessica King, Senior Policy Associate
