Dear [Your Elected Official],

<p>I am writing to urge you to support SB489, which requires the secretary of state to conduct audits of ballot counting devices to be used at state primary and general elections. A properly designed, well executed, post-election audit can find counting errors, correct them, deter fraud, provide data for continuous improvement in election administration, and promote public confidence in elections.</p> <p>Elections belong to the public, and required post-election audits reduce the risk of confirming an incorrect outcome that goes against the will of the people. Please vote to pass SB489 for required election audits.</p>
