🔐🗳️ Securing America’s Electoral Future 🗳️🔐

Election infrastructure security represents one of America’s most critical challenges, with threats ranging from foreign interference to domestic confidence challenges. Blockchain technology offers potential solutions worth careful exploration:

• 59% of Americans express concern about election security
• Paper-based systems face logistical challenges but provide tangible records
• Digital-only solutions offer convenience but raise security questions
• Security certification frameworks needed before operational deployment
• Balance required between innovation and proven reliability

Rather than immediate deployment, we need rigorous research, standards development, and careful pilot testing ensuring blockchain voting applications enhance rather than compromise election security.

Our Balanced Exploration Approach

Our proposed legislation would establish:

1️⃣ Research & Standards Development
• National Institute of Standards and Technology testing frameworks
• Independent verification methodology standards
• Paper backup requirements ensuring disaster recovery

2️⃣ Pilot Program Framework
• Phased implementation beginning with low-risk applications
• Local election pilot authorization with federal oversight
• Risk-limiting audit requirements
• Public confidence measurement protocols

3️⃣ Security Assurance & Evaluation
• Technical capacity building for election officials
• Security certification program development
• Continuous monitoring methodologies
• Cross-jurisdiction security coordination
• International security collaboration

4️⃣ Voter Confidence & Usability
• Voter education requirements for pilot jurisdictionss
• Trust-building framework integration
• User experience standards development
• Voter feedback collection methodologies
• Language access requirements

5️⃣ Implementation Oversight & Governance
• Bipartisan review commission establishment
• Technical advisory committee of security experts
• Civil society organization participation
• Continuous improvement processes

Balanced Implementation Path

The legislation would establish a 5-year exploratory program led by the Election Assistance Commission and National Institute of Standards and Technology with $40 million in annual funding. The approach emphasizes:
• Rigorous security as non-negotiable requirement
• Paper backup systems as essential redundancy
• Measured pace prioritizing security over speed

Our coalition includes election security experts, state and local election officials, technology developers, civil rights organizations, and democracy advocates committed to thoughtful exploration of technologies that could enhance election security while carefully managing associated risks.

🔐 Secure • Verifiable • Accessible 🔐

Your support will help create the rigorous framework needed to properly evaluate blockchain voting applications—ensuring any implementation enhances rather than compromises the security, accessibility, and confidence in America’s election systems.
