Take a look at the Obama campaign’s heated response to our honest effort to work together. With or without the participation of the Obama campaign, our efforts remain focused on ensuring that every qualified voter has the opportunity to vote in a fair and transparent manner.”
- Every eligible citizen has the right to vote and have his or her vote counted.
- No qualified voter should have his or her vote canceled or diluted by illegal votes.
- Election officials should take necessary steps well in advance of the election to ensure that voting is orderly, efficient, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Experience has shown that careful, advance planning that anticipates and addresses potential problems on Election Day will substantially reduce problems on Election Day.
- Election officials and campaigns should have zero tolerance for voter intimidation or discrimination in the election process based on age, sex, race, disability, political affiliation, or other categories unrelated to voter eligibility.
- Election officials and campaigns should have zero tolerance for fraud.
