We have all heard the saying: “Every Vote Counts.” And, it could not be more true than in local municipal and school board elections. Why? Because very few people vote, making your vote even more powerful. In the last municipal election cycle throughout Dallas County, less than 7% of the registered voters actually voted. LESS THAN 7%!

We have tried to work with these systems but no longer think that these can be made trustworthy.
We strongly believe that we can’t put our votes at risk any further.
We simply must get opaque voting systems (those that are not transparent) out of our election systems. That means no machines with modems or internet connections of any kind.
