How states are leading the way on election reform
Elections will never be viewed as fair if the winning side is victorious because they were better positioned to write the rules to their advantage.
Any national federal standard — whether it be voter ID, absentee ballot availability, or even voter qualifications — would be enforced with a decidedly Democratic Party bias.
In a recent Gallup poll, a full one-third of Americans were not confident that their votes are accurately counted.
A core strength of American elections is the decentralized process. No one entity has oversight over all ballot counting, which means there’s no single point for a bad actor to attack.
Eliminating the human element from filling out paper ballots is as essential to election security as ensuring election machines produce a voter verifiable paper ballot.
There’s a mixed bag of actions being taken by election officials in states across the country in order to mitigate the infiltration of election systems during the 2018 mid-terms.
