PROTECT THE MIDTERMS
We Know You Care As Much As We Do
Our team has been working to improve U.S. elections for decades, so we know the challenges. Our experience means we have real solutions that work, including:
- Documenting and challenging election corruption
- Teaching voters how to monitor & protect their local election
- Changing laws to make elections more secure & accurate (via SMART Legislation)
We are currently raising $500,000 to protect the midterms. Through the deep generosity of our donors, we've raised $135,00 and are putting those funds directly into our #CountTheVote program - which is training the over 1000 election observers that are signed up in 47 states. Please continue to share about this with your friends, families, networks, & influencers. This is a long-term project and we value your participation!

What is #CountTheVote?
- A groundbreaking national network of election observers trained to protect & monitor the midterms.
- It is the most comprehensive, nonpartisan, data-based, election verification program in U.S. history. The goal is to give volunteers an opportunity to actively participate in monitoring and protecting their local elections, in order to increase confidence in election results, identify trouble spots and reduce the chance that U.S. elections will be plunged into chaos, or even violence, following an election.
- SMART Elections has been doing #CountTheVote since 2021. We have monitored 8 election cycles in that time (some primaries and some general elections.)
Thanks for all you’re doing!
