Contributions to this cause will go to the general operating fund of Election Defense Alliance, a nationally active election integrity organization with 501 c 3 status through our fiscal sponsor relationship with International Humanities Center.
In 2009 we are working on an "election integrity curriculum" to reach a wider public, not only explaining why electronic voting is such a threat to democracy, but prescribing local action that citizens can take to restore transparency and public accountability in their own elections.
We seek to restore electoral integrity as the foundation of American democracy, by alerting the citizenry to the illusions and dangers of privatized, computerized, fraud-prone voting machines, and working to replace this illegitimate system of secret vote-counting with hand-counted paper ballot elections, conducted by citizens in the precincts in public view, so that the vote-counting process is transparent, secure, verified, and fully accountable to the voters.
Ultimately, America's citizens will achieve electoral integrity by reviving traditions of citizen-conducted, precinct-based, hand-counted paper ballot voting, and establishing these principles and methods in state and federal election law to ensure electoral integrity and the legitimacy of government.
