The 3rd phase of the election process-Marking and Counting the ballots

How can we ensure that our vote counts? The Crowdstrike event opened up our eyes regarding the fragility of our eleciton ecosystem. Rick, Laura, and Hava discuss a better approach that is secure, accessible, transparent, and verifiable. They also discuss the importance of voting in person on election day despite any issues that could occur and how machines can actually disenfranchise voters due to inaccurate reading of the ballots. Must see. Please spread the info on the Gold Standard for elections. www.goldstandardelections.com.
