This site reports news about absentee voting, and provides resources for those opposing the increased use of “No-excuse” absentee voting. This website is a response to the lack of organized opposition and resources on the web for those working to oppose vote by mail, absentee voting, and anything else that sounds like getting rid of voting booths and trusting the post office with Democracy.

Thank you.
Great blog with helpful info. I linked to it on my website.
I appreciate your candid discussion. I can’t stand people who do not hesitate to point to problems without proposing a viable solution. I myself am not 100% convinced your solution (using only handcounted paper ballots by public secret vote) is the best solution, but it certainly ups the ante of difficulty to implement vote fraud.
Thanks Ed, I do make a point of saying “hand auditing” is acceptable in large precincts, using a optical scan or similar solution which is on a paper ballot which is both hand and machine readable. Hand counts and hand audits are fine with me… the major point is to do them at the precinct level.

Dear Mr. Lange,
I suggested to my son, who is a senior at Nathan Hale High School in Seattle, that he volunteer with your efforts. I feel strongly also about this cause, and I may even be willing to contribute some time myself. My son has to volunteer at least 6 hours of work to a politically-oriented (or better yet, a civil liberties-oriented) organization. He may be the person that you need to research and obtain the non-profit status you seek. In addition, he and I are both musicians (I am a full-time professional and recording artist) and we may be able to help out in that way also.
This is a very important issue….I have been involved in other voting rights organizations (verified voting, black box, etc.), and I was appalled that our citizens voted for mail-in voting. Even some of those who were aware of problems with e-voting somehow did not figure that an all mail-in system was filled with problems.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
