Demand Hand Count of Michigan's E S&S Voting Results
The Issue
The chaos and potential for injustice in our democratic process is deeply troubling. As worries about governmental transparency and voter suppression mount, the importance of fair elections has never been more significant. Recent actions by Project 2025 threaten the core of what many hold dear: women's bodily autonomy, the sanctity of private data, and the safeguarding of public lands.
In the state of Michigan, concerns have arisen regarding the use of Election Systems & Software (E S&S) voting machines in seven counties: Bay, Emmet, Grand Traverse, Kalamazoo, Macomb, Mason, and Roscommon. These machines underwent last-minute software updates that were dismissed as 'de minimus' by Professional Verification & Validation (Pro V&V), meaning they were considered minimal and not subject to independent oversight or public scrutiny. The federal Election Assistance Commission (EAC)’s perfunctory approval of these changes is alarming and potentially detrimental to public confidence in the election outcomes.
Moreover, there is data evidence suggesting a significant "drop off" of votes, pointing to possible inaccuracies or irregularities in the election results that could impact the integrity of the democratic process. Given the lack of thorough examination and transparency, this situation demands immediate action to rebuild trust in our electoral system.
The citizens of Michigan deserve verifiable assurance that their votes have been accurately counted and represented. Therefore, we urgently request a hand count of the ballots in these counties. A transparent recount will not only demonstrate a commitment to maintaining democratic values but also ensure that every voter's voice is heard and respected.
Sign this petition to urge the state authorities and election offices to conduct a thorough and transparent hand count of ballots in the affected counties. It's imperative to protect the integrity of our elections and safeguard the foundation of our democratic republic. Together, let's reclaim trust in our electoral process.
