Is My State Prepared?

spacer In July 2012, the Verified Voting Foundation, Common Cause and the Rutgers University Law School released Counting Votes 2012: A State by State Look at Election Preparedness that reviews how prepared each state is to ensure that every eligible voter can vote, and that every vote is counted as cast. Does your State require paper ballots or records of every state? Does your State have contingency plans in the event of machine failure? Does your State protect military and overseas voters by ensuring that marked ballots are not cast online? Has your State instituted a post-election audit? Does your State use robust ballot reconciliation and tabulation practices? See how your State ranks.

If I Can Bank Online, Why Can’t I Vote Online?

spacer There is widespread pressure around the country today for the introduction of some form of Internet voting in public elections that would allow people to vote online, all electronically, from their own personal computers or mobile devices. Proponents argue that Internet voting would offer greater speed and convenience, particularly for overseas and military voters and, in fact, any voters allowed to vote that way. However, computer and network security experts are virtually unanimous in pointing out that online voting is an exceedingly dangerous threat to the integrity of U.S. elections. There is no way to guarantee that the security, privacy, and transparency requirements for elections can all be met with any practical technology in the foreseeable future.
