The folks at Black Box Voting are keeping an eye on elections around the country. They are advocating for transparency in vote counting, and citizen access to election data. In a submission to the US Election Assistance Commission on April 24, they state:
"The core of elections was and again must return to the principle of citizen sovereignty over government. Elections can never be based on a requirement to trust government insiders and their vendors to count our votes, nor can elections be dependent on experts to tell the citizenry that the system is okay, nor should the detailed mechanics of elections be impossible for the average citizen to understand."
For your vote to count, you need to make sure that your vote is counted. Check out Black Box Voting at http://www.blackboxvoting.org/
