Cook County Election Security
Suburban Cook County publishes a brochure outlining election security. They discuss two strategies, Controls and Audits. This brochure was constructed to promote the security of Cook County elections after Sharon Meroni from Defend the Vote uncovered that the elections were being conducted outside of the legal statues.

2009 Congress passed the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act (MOVE Act) to provide active duty military members and their voting age dependents with greater opportunities to vote. Now that the 2010 elections have passed, the question is: did the MOVE Act work? Military Families United’s Military Voter Protection Project answers that question in a new report, Military Voting in 2010: A Step Forward, But A Long Way To Go. In the report–which was published in cooperation with the AMVETS Legal Clinic at the Chapman University School of Law–MVP Project Executive Director Eric Eversole provided evidence that while the MOVE Act made strides forward, more must be done to protect the voting rights of our men and women in uniform and to provide them with greater opportunities to register an absentee ballot. Download the report. The report was also featured at a Military Voting Rights Conference hosted by Military Families United and The Heritage Foundation on July 19 in Washington, D.C. In addition to Eric Eversole, speakers included Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Edmund P. Giambastiani, Jr., USN (ret.), and many more experts in the field of elections and voting rights. Watch highlights of the Military Voting Rights Conference. http://mvpproject.org/news/
