John,
Free Speech For People is honored to have been invited to develop a series of presentations for the Indivisible Action Coalition, designed to address the security gaps in our election systems, and empower participants to take actions to increase the security, transparency, and auditability of the systems that count our votes.
We know our elections are under attack and that Trump and his allies are actively engaged through the redistricting process, in trying to rig the 2026 mid-term elections. We can’t assume election systems won’t be a target for actual vote subversion or false claims of manipulation.
The reality is that our election systems are not impenetrable. But following Trump’s baseless claims of election fraud in 2020, there’s been a reluctance to address known vulnerabilities in the systems. With Trump doing everything he can to disrupt the elections or ensure that his candidates win, we can’t afford to ignore the vulnerabilities in our voting systems.
That’s why Indivisible Action Coalition (formerly Indivisible Middle Tier) is hosting this series of webinars to educate participants about the threats to election systems, and what we need to do to better protect our ballots. We are pleased to open up these sessions to you too.
Tonight: two of the nation’s premier voting-technology experts will take on the myths that you’ve probably heard—myths that can distort public understanding of how modern voting systems actually work. [[link removed]]
You’ve almost certainly heard some of these claims:
* “Voting systems can’t be hacked because they aren’t connected to the internet.”
* “Robust pre-election testing assures accurate counts.”
* “Hacks can’t be scaled and therefore can’t alter outcomes.”
* “Post-election audits will detect problems and correct the results.”
These common myths mask the true security profile of our election systems and can thwart necessary safeguards that are available.
On Monday night, Professor Andrew Appel [[link removed]] (Princeton/Cornell) and Professor Philip Stark [[link removed]] (UC Berkeley) will walk us through why these reassuring-sounding statements are wrong, why they persist, and what actually does make an election transparent, trustworthy, and verifiable. They will speak to the technology threats to the 2026 elections. They will also take your questions on what we can do to ensure that outcomes reflect the will of the voters.
Please register here [[link removed]] . If you have specific questions you’d like the professors to address, feel free to send them in advance on this form [[link removed]] .
The session will be moderated by Susan Greenhalgh (Free Speech For People) and Marilyn Marks (Coalition for Good Governance), co-managers of the Protect the Ballot training series.

“The 2020/2021 Voting System Heist: The Perfect Storm for 2026?”
December 1 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT
Sneak peak - Susan and Marilyn will take you inside the largest election-security breaches you’ve likely never heard about—and why they matter in the 2026 cycle. If you haven’t signed up for that session, you may register here [[link removed]] .
You can also review our project goals and the November 13 introductory session here . [[link removed]]
We look forward to having you with us—and please feel free to share this invitation with others who care about protecting the 2026 elections from the escalating threats.
In solidarity and hope,
