The cornerstone of American democracy is fair and accurate elections. To date, voting systems have been largely privatized. However, this free market approach is failing. We must move to publicly owned transparent voting systems. The TrustTheVote Project is designing and developing freely accessible, publicly owned, transparent voting technology. This open source project is driven by a unique collaboration between States' elections officials driving requirements, and a Silicon Valley based team of senior technologists developing trustworthy systems that everyone can see, touch, and try. The results are Federally certifiable solutions for States and local election jurisdictions to freely adopt and implement. This is a movement toward "critical democracy infrastructure," and will ensure we can all confidently say, "I count!"

  • The U.S. is, indeed, the oldest constitutional republic; but it is also a representative democracy.  And since the hallmark principle of representative democracies is elected individuals representing the people, for our audience, we felt referring to the U.S. as a democracy is sufficient. So in this context, we felt that the technical correctness of constitutional republic vs. democracy is a distinction without significance (with all due respect.)

  • While I agree with this in principle, I don't have faith in an organization that thinks the United States is a Democracy.

    We are a Constitutional Republic. Always have been.
