About Black Box Voting!

<Black Box Voting, founded in 2004, is a nonpartisan, nonprofit investigative reporting and public education organization for elections.

We are supported entirely by small citizen donations. We need and very much appreciate your help. Please take a moment to become a patron by setting up a much-needed monthly sponsorship -- or make a very important single donation: Click HERE.

You may be wondering what the term "black box" means. A "black box" system is non-transparent; its functions are hidden from the public. Elections, of course, should not be black box systems.

Influential reporting by Black Box Voting is referenced worldwide. We became known for our groundbreaking work on electronic voting machines, which can remove transparency of the vote count; our other important work pertains to voter lists, election chain of custody, transparency problems with absentee voting, election industry corporate governance, and financial accountability in elections.

Opaque, non-transparent voting can afflict voter lists, poll lists,vote counting and chain of custody; political finance can also be "black box." The road to better transparency begins with knowledge and public, grassroots dedication. I am glad you are here!
