Voting systems don't just get plugged in on Election Day.
Every U.S. system must pass federal certification — tested for security, accuracy, accessibility & auditability before a single vote is cast.
@EACgov recently raised the bar with VVSG 2.0.

Don’t be fooled by old 2020 election claims.
Read the two federal reports that drew the same conclusion — no foreign actor changed a vote, blocked a voter, disrupted counting, or tampered with voter registration data.

Today, we honor the service members who gave everything in defense of our nation and our freedoms.
The right to a free, fair, and secure election is among those freedoms. Democracy isn't self-sustaining — it's defended.
We are grateful today and every day.
