Verified Voting is a rigidly nonpartisan organization devoted to one thing: transparent, verifiable public elections in the electronic age. We promote the adoption of strong security best practices in the conduct of elections, auditable voting technologies, and evidence-based post election auditing so that candidates and the public at large can be assured that the every vote counts and the will of the people is manifest. We oppose the use of all-electronic voting systems without paper trails because they are inherently unauditable, and we oppose Internet voting because there is no technology for adequately securiing online election. Our emphasis and expertise is in technology and computer and network security. We do not address campaign finance issues, or voting rights issues, or any other issues of a "political" nature that would dilute our focus.
