Election Information

Elections are the bedrock of the republic. If they are corrupted in anyway, then confidence in the political system is lost and society becomes corroded and eventually chaos and authoritarism will ensue. Trusting the government to keep the process fair and uncorrupted is a big ask. Elections are the people’s means to keep the government under control. They are our elections and should be treated as such. Volunteers must keep watch over the elections to ensure that the people’s will is in fact manifest.

Things we as citizens can do:

  • Observe the public process for voting maching accuracy.
  • Voluteer to be a registar. Three are needed. One to each major party plus the town.
  • Scrutinize voter rolls and make sure inelgible voters are expunged
  • Recruit quality candidates to make races competitive.
