Election funding is essential to voters, volunteers, and election offices in Ohio and across the country. #ModernizeOurElections (via @YourChronicle)
Our democracy works best when every voter can participate in it. Dismantling barriers that undermine voters with disabilities’ freedom to vote is essential to achieving a fair and inclusive democracy. #Election2024 #InclusiveDemocracy campaignlegal.org/update/barrier…

In fact, voting rights lawyers at the NAACP have made clear that data transparency at the precinct-level is essential for analysis that identifies situations in which electoral rules may be having a racially discriminatory effect. boltsmag.org/election-data-…
Election data transparency is key for a properly functioning democracy. As UCS's Liza Gordon-Rogers explains in a recent blog, transparent and readily available election data from counties at the precinct level fights disinformation & elections subversion. act.ucsusa.org/4a9LqNN
The need for data transparency has been hindered by lack of funding & antiquated technology for county electoral administrators. @Responsive_Gov noted that election admins are leaving their positions at an alarming rate due, in part, to this issue. responsivegov.org/leo-report/
