Details about this list:

This list: electionintegrity@citizensoversight.org

is NONPARTISAN and posts related to political issues that are not directly related to election integrity should not be posted. There is a fine line between working on nonpartisan election integrity, in terms of fair and complete processing of elections, and the specific contests that are being processed by that system. So please be careful!

--> PLEASE NOTE You must introduce yourself by sending an email to raylutz@citizensoversight.org to be subscribed to this list. We get too many robotic sign-ups.

Here are some appropriate topics:

• Election laws
• Oversight of elections and election audits of any kind.

• Registration issues, including voter purging, same-day registration, ineligible voting, deceased or immigrant voters.
• Ease of voting vs long lines and machine failures.

• Compliance audits of chain of custody, etc.

Here are some topics that are inappropriate:

• Discussion about who is the best candidate, how the debates went, etc.

• undocumented immigrants voting.
• incarcerated prisoner voting.
• Vote-by-mail schemes that are questionable.
• Voter-ID requirements.
• etc.
