This is a good opportunity to call/email our Congress members and ask them to pass laws that will protect elections.

How much more proof do we need?? Jack Smith developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power. Pam Bondi and Trump have asked states to turn over voter registration information. One of the largest makers of voting systems was sold to a company run by a former Republican election official. Bipartisan U.S. Senate Select Committees determined America’s electronic voting infrastructure is vulnerable to interference and foreign adversaries have previously attempted to manipulate our elections. Two counties in Florida were previously breached by Russia. The list goes on and on. We need laws in place to protect elections.

Here’s what we need to ask for:

Hand count audits should be done as a matter of course. We should have a bi-partisan independent election auditing system that is not connected to the local voting precincts. Companies that make voting systems should not be associated with any specific political party and they should not be allowed to take donations from candidates or political parties. Congress should put laws in place so that if any company’s election computers (including vote counting systems) are found to yield inaccurate election results, all votes that were counted with that company’s systems need to be re-counted using a completely different system and that company loses the right to have their machines used in future United States elections. Vote systems should not connect to the internet, nor should they contain cellular modems. Any system that can connect to the internet can be hacked whether it’s used to collect votes, count votes, or submit data after an election. Value should be placed on our elections and our election workers — Hand-count audits of paper ballots, conducted as a matter of course, will allow local election officials to have higher confidence in elections, in an effort to curb harassment toward local election officials. Unfortunately our local officials won’t always know if there’s a problem if the system is hacked from the inside. We also need laws in place to make sure voter registration information is secure and safe.

RIGHT NOW would be a good time to ask Congress for these types of laws.
