The What
What Is Election Integrity Network’s Mission?
Making it “Easy to Vote and Hard to Cheat”
- To make the goal of ‘easy to vote and hard to cheat’ a reality in every voting jurisdiction in America.
- To protect the federalist system enshrined in the US Constitution that vests the primary authority for election systems and administration in the states, not the federal government.
- To create a platform through CPI that supports and sustains conservative groups, leaders, public officials and grassroots activists to be engaged permanently in protecting voting rights and the integrity of America’s elections.

What is Election Integrity?
Election “integrity” is a phrase commonly used to identify laws and procedures that safeguard the privacy and security of ballots for all American voters.
Election Integrity ensures the legal right of all Americans to vote in a free and fair election without concerns that their political voice would be diminished by individual or institutional fraud, physical or verbal intimidation, vote trafficking (“harvesting”,) buying of votes, ballot manipulation at election offices, voting by non-citizens, or any political activism that alters, coerces, or negates a citizen’s right to vote.
