SPECIAL PROJECT FUNDING REQUESTS
Citizens Oversight is fully engaged with the following current projects that can benefit from your monetary support:

• Audit Engine Ballot Image Tabulation Audits -- We realized in 2019 that we needed a way to audit elections by a third party using the ballot images and cast vote records. Since then, we have developed Audit Engine, a ballot image auditing platform. We do our work for the public, but we do have hard costs that must be covered for any specific audit. Please contact us if you can acquire ballot images and cast-vote records (CVRs) for any election and we will let you know what our fundraising goals must be to complete that job. Also, please donate so we can do more audits!

• 2024 Audit Project -- In this project, we will conduct a few targeted ballot image audits in swing states where there was a split (nor nearly split) ticket, that is where Harris lost and also a down ballot Republican candidate for U.S. Senate or U.S. House nearly or narrowly lost. We can handle only about a half-dozen such projects at once and we need to raise funds to cover our costs.

County	Ballot Sheets	Fundraising Target
Clark County, NV	1,033,285	$72K
Washoe, NV	262,734	$20K
Dane, WI	367,502	$25K
St. Croix County	60,875	$6K
Bucks, PA	403,959	$28K
Pima, AZ	518,466	$38K
TOTAL		$189K

These audits compare our independent tabulation from Ballot Images to the official results as provided in a Cast Vote Record file (CVR). We audit all contests in the election, ballot by ballot. If our evaluation does not match the voting system, then they are reported and reviewed. We can conduct adjudication review using our Adjudi Tally app to fine tune the results.

We can add more counties with more funding.

Affiliate your club or organization, or just endorse Citizens Oversight

We encourage organizations such as clubs, associations and nonprofits, to endorse us and promote that their members join Citizens Oversight.

• Nonpartisan clubs, associations, and nonprofits - Your group as a whole can become an affiliate of Citizens Oversight and directly engage to address local issues. Your members can directly become members of COPS or remain as members of your organization which then can operate as a COPS affiliate. We recommend that your group contribute as a whole at least at the "Underwriter" level, but we will accept you even if you cannot afford any direct contribution. If you do not have a 501(c)3 status, we can extend that to your group if you become an official affiliate. This is very useful to get the best rates on meeting rooms, postage, and other expenses. To become an affiliate, you will either provide your membership list to us or allow us to promote COPS membership to your membership through your staff.

• Partisan clubs, political committees, etc. -- Your group can endorse Citizens Oversight and make contributions as a unit, but a partisan group cannot become an affiliate. Although we can accept endorsement and contributions from partisan clubs and political committees, we cannot make you an official "affiliate" since we are organized as a 501(c)3 nonprofit. This makes donations to our organization tax deductible, but we cannot engage in any partisan activities. If your organization is explicitly partisan, you will need to establish a separate nonpartisan association that can run in parallel with your main group if you want to establish an affiliate chapter.
