It’s not enough to say “let’s hope the next election isn't tampered with”, or to say you have to take political power before you can take election integrity seriously.

Protecting votes starts BEFORE and DURING an election, not after.
👏 Demand evidence-based election security measures from state and local officials
🗣️ Encourage candidates to know, and be prepared to exercise, their rights to recounts
💡 Learn how to analyze results and recognize suspicious vote counts for yourself, and advocate for your elections (we have the sources and resources to help!)

As more Americans learn about the reality of known vulnerabilities, remember: protecting the integrity of the vote starts NOW — not tomorrow. 🇺🇸
