The Transparency Foundation announces a new effort to enhance election integrity by boosting early election turnout and educating voters on the \u201cS.A.F.E. Voting Method\u201d<\/h3>\n

A new effort has been launched to encourage voters in California to return their ballots EARLY. The Secure the Vote California 2022 Initiative, a project of the non-partisan Transparency Foundation, is declaring Sunday, October 16, 2022 as \u201cSafe Vote Sunday\u201d and is seeking to partner with churches, community groups, and others to encourage voters to return their ballots for California\u2019s November 2022 election on or before that day.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Unfortunately, most conservative voters think it is best to wait until Election Day to cast their ballot \u2014 particularly because they don\u2019t trust the US Postal Service and think their mail ballot could be tampered with or even discarded.<\/p>\n

The project seeks to dispel the myth that early voting is somehow less secure \u2014 when in fact early voting is actually more secure and would benefit conservative candidates the most.<\/p>\n

\u201cEarly voting gives voters the time they need to properly track and verify that their vote was indeed counted,\u201d says Carl DeMaio, chairman of the Transparency Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore importantly, by voting early, voters can help their preferred candidates win elections because those campaigns won\u2019t have to spend money on mailers, text messages, phone calls, door knocks, etc. to turn out their base vote,\u201d DeMaio adds.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlus voting early gives you not only peace of mind, but also peace and quiet because your name will be taken off the list of endless door knocks and robo-calls from candidates,\u201d DeMaio says.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In addition to ensuring voters turn in their ballots on or before Sunday, October 16th, the Transparency Foundation is urging the public to spread awareness of Safe Vote Sunday and the S.A.F.E. method of voting.<\/p>\n

The S.A.F.E. method is an acronym for \u201cSend, Audit, Fix, Examine,\u201d which breaks down the voting process into sending your ballot by mail on day one, auditing the delivery of your ballot, fixing any errors and finding your local polling place, and examining the ballot counting process by becoming a poll watcher.<\/p>\n

\u201cCalifornians are right to have concerns about the election and their ballot, and the S.A.F.E. method will go a long way to addressing them by ensuring you vote early, track the process, correct mistakes, and monitor the counting of ballots,\u201d said DeMaio.<\/p>\n

How Organizations Can Partner in \u201cSafe Vote Sunday\u201d October 16, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

The foundation is seeking partners (such as churches and civic groups) to help promote \u201cSafe Vote Sunday\u201d to their members. Contact the Transparency Foundation to hold an informal consultation where the program can be explained. Inquire\u00a0HERE<\/u><\/a>.<\/u><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

How Individuals Can Participate in \u201cSafe Vote Sunday\u201d October 16, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aside from seeking organizational partners, DeMaio says even individual voters can participate in Safe Vote Sunday in the following ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make the commitment to vote on or by Sunday, October 16th<\/li>\n
  2. Tell your friends, family, neighbors, church community, and others about Safe Vote Sunday and the S.A.F.E. voting method<\/li>\n
  3. Share the Transparency Foundation\u2019s\u00a0Safe Voting video<\/u><\/a>\u00a0explaining the S.A.F.E. voting method, and tag @transparencyfdn<\/li>\n
  4. Use hashtag #SafeVoteSunday<\/li>\n
  5. Get involved in counting ballots or monitoring the count at\u00a0ElectionIntegrityCA.com<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    DeMaio says \u201cSafe Vote Sunday\u201d is only one step in a much larger battle he\u2019s committed to waging to restore election integrity in California.<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n

    \u201cWith an all-mail-in election using outdated voter registration rolls, California hands-down has the worst election process in the nation,\u201d says DeMaio.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWe\u2019re committed to shining a light on elections in this state to flag any problems in real time and demanding improvements to the process in the future,\u201d DeMaio remarks. \u201cWe can\u2019t make this program happen without your support, so please join the campaign today to help us continue the fight to restore election integrity,\u201d DeMaio concludes.<\/p>\n
