Frequently Asked Questions

Ballot harvesting can be problematic as it often lacks oversight, potentially leading to fraud or manipulation. It also may exploit vulnerable populations, who could be coerced into handing over their ballots.
Alternatives include voting in-person and mailing your ballot directly to your local election office. If you are unable to vote in-person, you can also designate a trusted family member or friend to deliver your ballot for you where states allow that.
We need to focus on establishing transparent and verifiable election processes that limit opportunities for fraud. This includes tightening rules around mail-in voting and ballot harvesting, and strengthening voter ID laws.
These practices facilitate cheating if one is willing to exploit them. There's a risk that groups or individuals who are willing to engage in fraudulent activities will always find ways to surpass legal vote counts once they know the total they need to beat. They also divert attention from the need for legal and procedural reforms to secure future elections.
This battlefield may have been shaped over decades to favor certain groups through the manipulation of laws, procedures, and organizations. It's a landscape that's difficult to navigate fairly and transparently, particularly if the incumbent groups have had ample time to establish a solid footing.
Moving the battle to the cognitive space means focusing on shaping public opinion and raising awareness about the issues with the current system. It involves using our strength in numbers and the general public's desire for free and fair elections to challenge the institutions and to restore transparent and verifiable election processes.
The focus should be on defining transparent and verifiable election processes in all fifty states, and then putting political pressure on state legislatures to enact these reforms in their next legislative session. This is the only way to ensure that future elections accurately reflect the will of the people.
