Our primary focus is to reform the election process so that elections are fair, transparent, honest, and accurately reflect the will of the majority of the people. This is a critical issue for Threshold because: Elections are key to almost every other issue we work on, and they are the most important way to hold our political leaders accountable; the vote is the only political power that many people have; and our elections are not transparent, fair or honest today. Many citizens are denied the right to vote or are severely discouraged from voting. There is much evidence that past elections have been hacked and almost all elections systems are still very vulnerable to electronic distortion whether from insiders, corporate interests or foreign countries. Election outcomes are also often rigged through gerrymandering, and the lack of limits on campaign spending encourages corruption and control of elections by the rich and powerful.
