Join Us

There are no dues or fees for membership in Georgians for Verified Voting (GAVV). Members can participate in calls for action, volunteer for committees, join us in educating election officials, participate in lobbying efforts or take part in other vital work necessary to bring democratic elections to Georgia.

No time to Volunteer?
Members with little time for volunteer work can still make a big contribution by spreading the word on electronic voting issues to their friends and family and by encouraging them to join GAVV.

No matter what level of time and energy you have to contribute, your membership speaks volumes to our legislators about the importance of this issue to Georgia voters and moves us closer to our goal of transparent, secure and auditable elections in Georgia.

Take a few minutes and join us today!

"A voting system that is not auditable contains the seeds of destruction for a democracy." Rep. Rush Holt, D-N.J., a chief sponsor of a bill to improve electronic-voting security.

"What Mr. Hursti discovered in Utah is the most serious vulnerability that we've ever seen in a voting system. This particular vulnerability is serious enough that you can affect multiple machines from a single attack. That's what makes it so dangerous. I can't talk about in any more detail than that because we're trying to keep the technical details of this vulnerability secret until the problem is fixed." David Jefferson*

*Note: David Jefferson is a computer scientist who works at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and independently reviewed Harry Hursti's work for California's Secretary of State [see "In the Press", Jan. 21, 2006]. It's important for election officials, legislators, and the voting public to know that Hursti's test demonstrated that it does not require access to multiple Diebold Election System (DES) machines to alter an election. It only takes one. Once the contents of a memory card is uploaded upstream, whatever is on it, also flows upstream.
