Show up for your community. Vote.

Proud of my colleagues Natalia Sells & Jennifer Willett for calling out the barriers Native voters still face. With midterms coming up, election officials have a real chance—and responsibility—to fix these issues. Every Native voice deserves to be heard. thehill.com/opinion/camp...

Did you know that Pennsylvania did a risk-limiting audit (RLA) of the 2025 municipal election—a check confirming machine counts were accurate? It was PA's 7th statewide RLA and another example of why paper ballots matter. Learn more from @padeptstate.bsky.social at: vote.pa.gov/audits

The IACR in the news. We made a mistake, and the lesson is: Even cryptographers can't successfully run a relatively small online election that respects the secrecy of the ballot. Don't try this in national elections, people! @verifiedvoting.org

Did you know amstatnews.bsky.social endorsed Risk-Limiting Audits (RLAs) as one of the most reliable ways to verify election results? Georgia’s successful RLA of the Public Service Commissioner District 2 contest this week is one of the latest examples of this proven method in action.

Our president & CEO, Pam Smith, was thrilled to join the show to explain that “the majority of people have that physical ballot they could check…that’s your way to safeguard your own vote, and it’s election officials’ way to demonstrate that the count was right.” Listen to learn more 🗳🎧

Verified Voting’s Mark Lindeman to the @apnews.com: “Cuomo is only listed once because he was only nominated once, and he is low in the order because no recognized political party nominated him. Surely Elon Musk has people who could have looked this up for him.” bit.ly/4oLjzvn

On #VeteransDay, we honor those who've served our nation and defended democracy. Thank you to incredible organizations like @chamberlainvets.bsky.social for helping veterans continue that service by strengthening civic participation and trust in elections.

As federal election security support shrinks, Pam Smith warns smaller offices may be left “flying blind.” Still, she reminds us: “We ran elections before there was critical infrastructure support, and we'll have elections again, even without federal support.” @samsabin.bsky.social bit.ly/4hM06Ib

Election security starts long before Election Day. Tonya Wichman, an Ohio county elections director, told @brennancenter.org that she spends nearly a year testing machines, training poll workers, and securing every ballot. Read the full Q&A: www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Disinformation, from fake claims about fraud to AI-generated deepfakes, aims to weaken trust in elections. But the reality is that our elections *are* safe and secure (and our job is to keep them that way). Get the facts here: bit.ly/NTFEC
