Vermonters deserve to see this bill passed! As Election Integrity Coalition VT has demonstrated, because our current election system lacks meaningful safeguards such as Voter ID,

  • Stolen and fraudulently submitted absentee ballots “will likely be processed” and the victimized citizens will be “checked off the [voter] checklist as having voted.” (See Video)
  • Large- and small-scale absentee ballot fraud “is an opportunity that’s out there” given Vermont’s all-mail ballot system and lack of ballot integrity/security measures. (See Video)
  • And, “We can’t necessarily stop…” anyone from committing absentee ballot fraud. (See Video)

Vermonters deserve fair, secure, and accurate elections that produce results we can all be confident in. Multiple polls show Voter ID requirements are supported by roughly 80% of citizens, with majority support across party and demographic lines. Our politicians should listen to the will of the people and pass H.670! Help make that happen!
