With the 2024 election fast approaching, a nonpartisan watchdog group has identified more than a dozen “critical reforms” states must make to “ensure voter integrity.”
The Honest Elections Project (HEP) is a group “Dedicated to supporting the right of all legitimate voters to participate in free and fair elections” through “public engagement, advocacy and public interest litigation.”
On Friday, he released the book “Safeguarding Our Elections” report detailing what it will take to “rebuild confidence in American elections.”
“We believe very strongly in making it easier to vote and harder to cheat, and to do that, there's a whole set of basic rules and safeguards that I think every state should adopt and follow,” he said. said HEP Executive Director Jason Snead. Fox News Digital. “We built everything into this report over the last several years, talking to experts, working with states, seeing what works and what doesn't work, just as importantly, and then trying to bring it all together into a single, consolidated, concise piece of literature that you can leave it on the legislator's desk, and they can go out and get these reforms passed and make their elections work better for the voters.“
Clean the electoral rolls.
Carry out routine audits.
Voter ID required.
These are common sense measures to protect the integrity of our elections.

The report lists 14 “honest rules for honest elections,” including a ban on ranked-choice voting; the blocking of “Zuck Bucks 2.0”; prevent “foreigners” from “influencing the elections”; and barring non-citizens from voting “in all elections.”
According to HEP: The electoral dates must be consolidated; only elected legislators should write election laws; election results should be “immediate and accurate”; “Old and erroneous voter registrations must be removed” from electoral rolls; the integrity of the “voter registration process” must be protected; early voting and mail-in voting laws should be closely regulated; “mail-in ballots” must be protected from fraud; voter ID must be required “for every vote”; and electoral crimes must be investigated and prosecuted.
The group attacked the Center for Tech and Civic Life, a group which claims to be “a team of civic technologists, trainers, researchers, election administration and data experts working to foster a more informed and engaged democracy and helping to modernize American elections.”
“Elections should be accountable to the public, not to special interest groups and liberal mega-donors. In 2020, left-leaning nonprofits pumped more than $400 million from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg , to thousands of polling places, giving more money to the places that ultimately voted for Joe Biden,” HEP stated in its report. “Dozens of states have banned or restricted private election subsidies, but the same left-wing group behind 'Zuck Bucks' in 2020, the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), has already created a new $80 million, the US Alliance for Election Excellence, to circumvent these laws and influence America's election offices.”
According to HEP, state lawmakers should ban ranked-choice voting “for public elections at all levels of government.”
“VCR makes it harder to vote, harder to understand election results, and harder to trust the voting process,” the report explains. “States across the country are banning RCV and disgruntled cities are repealing it, but a coordinated campaign driven by left-wing megadonors is promoting RCV to tilt politics to the left.”

“We've seen right now possibly a dozen states facing ballot measure battles to bring ranked-choice voting to future elections,” Snead told Fox News Digital. “We've seen the launch of Zuck Bucks 2.0 seriously and they have the new $80 million program. We wanted to make sure that these issues were raised for policy makers and also for people in the media, so that they can understand what these new threats and challenges are.“.
Reforms, Snead said, don't have to be “disruptive.”
“A lot of states are looking at what to do this year that doesn't involve significant rewrites of election law, that doesn't raise the old concern that you're going to get from officials and election officials that you're changing things in the middle of an election and that's a potential disruptor “, he said. “You can ban ranked-choice voting, you can shut down Zuck Bucks 2.0, you can shut down foreign influence in elections by shutting down foreign influence in statewide polls. You can bring process audits to your elections and empower secretaries of state for them to participate and ensure that the electoral laws are complied with.”
“None of this disrupts the election,” Snead noted, “and will have significant positive impacts on security, transparency and public confidence in the voting process.“
Reminder:
82% of black voters and 83% of Hispanic voters favor photo ID laws.

Looking ahead to 2024, Snead seems cautiously optimistic.
“I hope at least as far as 2024 goes, things will work better than 2020,” he said. “We certainly don't have a global pandemic facing us; that alone is a huge plus. But there's still a lot that can go wrong and, of course, going forward, we always have to be aware of how we can keep improving our choices.”
