Highest level elections officials, failing in election integrity, to party exclusively with corporate vendors July 7.
Twice a year, National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) i.e. the highest level of voting officials in each of the 50 states of the USA convene at posh corporate sponsored conferences where they give exclusive access to voting machine vendors, data mining corporations with huge military contracts, and other corporate affiliates.
The Summer Conference July 7-10, 2017 Indianapolis, will hold its exclusive posh party at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at 5:15pm, July 7th.

With continued failure of transparency in our elections and recent testimony regarding how easy it is to spread viruses amongst computerized voting machines, it is time to hold these officials accountable for denying election integrity. They are in violation of their own NASS constitution:
NASS ARTICLE III - STATEMENT OF ETHICS
The role of Secretary of State is a noble calling, and carries a high ethical mandate and a conscientious duty to our democracy. Accordingly, Association members commit to the following:
1. Adhering to the highest standards of excellence that will nurture and maintain the public trust;
2. Placing loyalty to state and federal constitutions, the law, and ethical principles above private or political gain; and
3. For those Secretaries of State who serve as their state's chief elections official, practicing fair and unbiased election administration that recognizes each eligible citizen's right to cast his or her vote, and for that vote to be counted with the highest regard to constitutional foundations.

If you want to fight for election integrity, let the Secretaries of State of the 50 states know that we need HAND COUNTED PAPER BALLOTS at the PRECINCT LEVEL with PUBLIC OVERSIGHT on ELECTION DAY

If anyone here is in Indianapolis, it would be great to show up with signs to demand CLEAN ELECTIONS and PAPER BALLOTS HAND COUNTED at the Indianapolis motor speedway as the secretaries of state and voting equipment vendors filter in to their cozy party at 5:15 pm , JULY 7th!!!!
