About Us

---

TrueVote.US is an outgrowth of a five-year campaign for verifiable voting in Maryland. The campaign by TrueVoteMD.org was a cross-partisan effort of thousands of Maryland voters who wanted to end the failed experiment with paperless voting.

Maryland has purchased Diebold paperless electronic voting machines and invested $100 million in the machines. The administrator of the Board of Elections was very close to the Diebold Corporation even serving as a spokesperson in an advertisement for the corporation in 2007.

Persistence paid off and Maryland is now transitioning to a paper-based voting system with an optical scan counters.

While there is still work to be done in Maryland there is need for change nationally as well as an opportunity thanks to an emergency bill being considered in Congress that could improve election integrity in time for the 2008 election.

Ensuring that votes are counted as cast is only one of the many challenges in the U.S. democracy in the United States. But, it is the basic foundation of a democracy. TrueVote.US will work on other democracy reforms in the future.

The President of TrueVote.US is Linda M. Schade who was a founder and former Executive Director of TrueVoteMD.org.

The Executive Director of TrueVote.US is Kevin Zeese who also serves as Executive Director of TrueVoteMD.org and was also a co-founder.
