By now, you’ve probably seen the viral video[1] of a Mississippi voter who tries voting for one candidate on an electronic machine -- but over and over again, the machine instead checks off his vote for a different candidate.

Just one machine malfunctioning like this can silence thousands of voters -- and that’s why before 2020, we MUST replace these aging systems with paper ballots that voters mark themselves.

The U.S. House has approved $600 million of funding for states and municipalities, so they can purchase systems that use verifiable paper ballots -- and implement other practices that are necessary to keep our elections secure.

But one man, Senator Mitch McConnell, is blocking this crucial funding -- even as an overwhelming majority of voters support making this investment.

No American should lose their right to vote for their favorite candidate because of a broken machine. Our elections are the cornerstone of our democracy -- and if we can’t trust that they’re secure and their results are accurate, then we don’t have a representative democracy anymore.

Add your name to tell Mitch McConnell: we MUST fix our broken elections systems -- our democracy depends on it.
