ELECTION
REFORM - What VR insists upon...
A U.S. Constitutional Amendment guaranteeing The Right to Vote! • Voter-verified, auditable paper
ballots must be mandatory in every polling place in America. •
Elections officials must be non-partisan. • Private companies may not run our elections through secret, proprietary,
uninspected and unsecure software. • Voter suppression, intimidation and gerrymandering of electoral districts
for pure partisan gain must stop forever. •
