Improve Election Transparency and Protect Election Workers
U.S. Election Assistance Commission
We must ensure that our election processes avoid errors,
correct any errors that happen, and are transparent enough that the public will trust their accuracy. The EAC can provide advice and information about how to keep ballots secure and verify vote counts. We appreciate their papers on chain of custody, which depends a great
deal on vulnerable locks and seals, and on audits, which are rarely rigorous enough. We'd like to see them do more to explain
the strengths and weaknesses
of seals, locks and
audits.
Election workers need safety.
They get threats from people who don't like election results, and don't
understand the rules these workers follow. The EAC has information
about threats. We need them to do more to track incidents and clarify the
laws protecting worker safety and clarifying the boundaries between protected and unprotected speech.
This petition appreciates what the EAC has done and encourages them to keep doing as much as they can to strengthen our elections.

Thank you for your bipartisan work for better elections in the U.S. Your role in recommending best practices to state and local election officials is essential.
We rely on you to help ensure that our election processes avoid errors, correct any errors that happen, and are transparent enough that the public will trust their accuracy. It is essential that you provide the state and local election officials with advice and information about how to keep ballots secure and verify vote counts. We appreciate your papers on chain of custody, which depends a great deal on vulnerable locks and seals, and on audits, which are rarely rigorous enough. We'd like to see you do more to explain the strengths and weaknesses of seals, locks and audits.
Election workers need safety. We're concerned about the current wave of threats from people who don't like past election results and don't understand the rules these workers follow. Workers don't always understand the boundaries between protected and unprotected speech. We ask you to do more to track incidents and publicly clarify the laws protecting both worker safety and freedom of speech.
We appreciate your dedication to accurate elections, encourage you to keep doing as much as you can to strengthen our precious democracy.
