An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Demand Emergency Voting Protections Before the Midterms

69 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

With less than 90 days until the midterms, I need you to act now. Use your emergency powers to implement contingency voting procedures: paper ballots scanned locally, bypassing electronic reporting systems entirely. Report precinct results by telephone, the way it was done before these vulnerable systems existed. The recent CISA report documents real threats to election infrastructure. Russian military intelligence successfully installed malware on election systems in 2016. Undervote rates tripled that year in key swing states. We watched votes disappear in real time on Election Night 2024. None of this has been investigated, and nothing has been done to prevent it from happening again. The goal is straightforward: keep the vote private, make the counting public. Paper ballots with manual counts or open-source systems both accomplish this. What's not acceptable is walking into another election with the same compromised infrastructure and no contingency plan. Your constituents are watching what you do with the authority you hold right now.
