Congress about to “Just say yes” to Permanent Secret Vote Counting
HR811 makes The Commission a permanent fixture in government: one president appointing four Commissioners with absolute control of our elections.
The American people need to think carefully about this.
HR811 gives the Commissioners broad reaching powers. They will be the “deciders” on selecting precincts for election audits. They will control and own all information related to our voting systems, election results, and audits. They will define all standards and e-voting equipment. The states, our state, will have to report to the Commission to have our election results certified. And our elections will become more complex and computerized, assuring citizens less and less access to the process.
