Ron spent years pointing a camera at public officials and demanding accountability. He knows what it looks like when people in power act like they have something to hide. American elections need to be easy for every eligible citizen to participate in and impossible for bad actors to manipulate. Right now, they are neither.
Voter identification
Require government-issued photo ID for all federal elections. Provide free government ID to any citizen who requests one. Every other major democracy does this. There is no legitimate argument against it.
Ballot integrity
Require paper ballots as the primary voting medium for all federal elections, with electronic machines producing a voter-verified paper record before casting. Oppose any federal requirement for universal mail-in voting. Absentee voting stays available for citizens who request it with legitimate reasons. Require strict chain-of-custody standards from printing through tabulation.
Election night counting
Require all in-person and early votes cast before election day to receive full tabulation and reporting on election night. Taking days to count ballots cast weeks earlier is inexplicable and corrosive to public confidence.
Voter roll maintenance
Require states receiving federal election funding to conduct annual voter roll maintenance using USPS change-of-address data, Social Security death records, and state vital records. Support a federal interstate voter registration database to eliminate duplicate registrations across state lines.
Congressional reform
Ron supports term limits for members of Congress. He will push for a ban on stock trading by members while in office, mandatory financial disclosure within 48 hours of any transaction, and a requirement that every vote be published with a plain-English explanation within 24 hours.
Trust, but verify. Every ballot. Every time.
Stand with Ron Durbin and help us bring accountability to Washington. Every dollar supports the movement.
