Simple Steps to Secure Our Elections and Protect Vulnerable Voters

Residents of care facilities are among our nation’s most vulnerable voters, making the protection of their individual rights, choices, and voices especially important. On July 20, 2026, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued updated guidance reaffirming federal protections that ensure residents have both the right to vote and the equal right to decline to participate, free from coercion, improper influence, or unauthorized action.

A Hard Truth:

People have used coercion, manipulation, and fraud to influence the outcome of elections since they were invented. In the last 100 years there have been the infamous stories of Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall in 1920s New York, Chicago’s Mayor Daley in the 1960s, and of course LBJ and the “extra” votes in Box 13 in Jim Wells County, Texas in 1948. 2020 wasn’t anything new, it was just done on a larger scale.

There isn’t just one vulnerability in our elections, there are dozens. Some are large, some all small, but all must be fixed. That’s what we do. We work to seal the holes and stop the leaks using education and advocacy. Click HERE to learn more about us and our philosophy.
