In Pennsylvania, a key battleground state in the Presidential election, 54 of 67 counties vote on paperless electronic vote machines, which are unauditable and unrecountable. Common Cause considers our state to be at "high risk" for compromised elections. Yet there are those who say raising questions about the integrity of the vote and the formidable barriers to participation faced by many groups – despite mountains of evidence that the problems are real - discourages people and therefore undermines what we care most about. Better to pretend that there are no problems and urge people to vote and hope for the best, they say.

This is America. Count every vote. |

The Election Reform Network and the election integrity movement nationwide urge people to vote, and we will continue to do so -- but not with their eyes closed! Democracy doesn’t work very well when citizenship feels like sleepwalking. In fact, democracy is by definition an active process, something that we as citizens have to protect, nurture, even rediscover and reinvent periodically, or it starts to creak and crumble. This is one of those times. You won’t be discouraged; you’ll be informed -- and energized for action. The film will be shown at the Hiway Theater, a beautifully restored community facility originally built in 1913, at 212 Old York Road in Jenkintown.
Businesses, nonprofit organizations and individuals are invited to cosponsor this event. The Election Reform Network aims to generate a sizable audience interested in learning more and becoming involved in safeguarding our elections and expanding openness, transparency and ethics in government. Since the modest $8 ticket price will likely not cover all expenses, they are seeking out those interested in supporting this work through contributions of $100 (designated “Leaders”) and $50 (designated “Advocates”). Cosponsors will be invited to join Emmy Award-winning filmmaker David Earnhardt for a light meal prior to the event. In addition, the names of all cosponsors will be highlighted in the program to be distributed to attendees.
