BECAUSE THE ORGANIZATION IS COMPRISED OF FORMER ELECTION ADMINISTRATORS WITH RCV EXPERIENCE, WE HAVE PROVIDED A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE TO POLICYMAKERS. ADVOCATES ADDRESS THE "WHY" QUESTION, WHILE THE ORGANIZATION IS BETTER POSITIONED TO ANSWER THE "HOW" QUESTION.

THE EXPANSION INCLUDES IMPROVING FILE CONVERSION AND EASE OF USE WITH FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF AGGREGATION AND TABULATION OF RESULTS WHEN STATE OR JURISDICTIONS USES MULTIPLE VOTING SYSTEMS. MILESTONES INCLUDE MEETING CERTIFICATION STANDARDS FOR 20 STATES REQUIRING TESTING TO FEDERAL STANDARDS AND FOR 26 STATES REQUIRING TESTING BY AN ELECTION ASSISTANCE COMMISSION (EAC) APPROVED TESTING LAB.
