Day 4 (May 29)
There are two ways for a hand audit of paper voting records to be initiated in Pennsylvania:
- Audits can be undertaken at the discretion of the Secretary of the Commonwealth (a role similar to Secretaries of State in other states); or,
- They can be ordered to occur by a judge.
Pennsylvania's Secretary of the Commonwealth is Al Schmidt, who was cc'd on the ETA's April 4th letter to Governor Shapiro to advise him of our concerns regarding patterns consistent with vote manipulation in the 2024 election results for Philadelphia, Allegheny, and Erie counties.
The ETA is currently in the process of requesting a meeting with Secretary Schmidt in an effort to request a post-election hand audit of paper voting records from him directly.
We're inviting Americans to join us in respectfully advocating for Secretary Schmidt to accept a request to meet.

Day 2 (May 27)
Today we're shifting our attention to one of the local government bodies that runs elections in a key swing state: the Philadelphia County Board of Elections in Pennsylvania.
The Election Truth Alliance has identified patterns consistent with vote manipulation in Philadelphia, Allegheny, and Erie counties with respect to the 2024 U.S. General election.
We're inviting Americans to join us in ensuring the board is aware of our concerns in relation to the 2024 election, and to urge them to take steps to safeguard Philadelphia county elections in future.

Day 2
Day 1 (May 26)
Democracy starts locally, so the call to action for DAY ONE is to contact your own state and local representatives and urge them to take urgent action to ensure election security and transparency.
(Remember, administering and auditing U.S. elections is a state and local responsibility, NOT a federal responsibility.)
