Welcome

USCountVotes.net is the site for members of the National Election Data Archive. Register to be a Volunteer here.


You can also use our contact database, a product of our groundwork for the archive, to write your elections officials.


We need volunteers to collect data for the National Election Data Archive because every state in America publicly reports its vote count data in a way that hides the evidence of vote miscounts. Election officials, voting machine programmers, and other insiders can pad votes for one candidate in one type of vote (say absentee ballots), and subtract votes for another candidate in another vote type (say Election Day electronic counts); and by adding the totals together before public release, the evidence cancels and is hidden. For example, in the New Mexico 2004 election, there were 10,000 more absentee votes counted than were cast, and a very high rate of no vote cast for president in precincts which used paperless electronic voting machines on Election Day. Yet not one state in America monitors its own election data to detect such problems.

Every state's open records law give the public the legal right to the data that would reveal any suspicious patterns indicating vote miscounts. By submitting public records requests to your county election officials, you can obtain the detailed data that is needed to ensure that the correct candidates are sworn into office following elections; and make it publicly available here.

Many voting systems are innacurate because they lack voter verified hand-countable paper ballots that would enable independent detection and correction of errors in counts. With your help we can create a National Election Data Archive to publicly monitor elections in every state, county, and precinct in America.
