    "Votewatch is a citizen-based non-profit non-partisan organization 
that works to ensure that the voices of ordinary people are heard and 
can be acted upon within America's democratic process. Our democratic 
process requires constant vigilance on the part of our citizens, and we 
must employ the most effective and efficient technology available to 
ensure free, fair and unfettered elections nationwide. Through this 
combination of technology and the need for vigilance, Votewatch is 
creating the tools that will give all citizens the opportunity to 
participate in the oversight of our election process.

    "Votewatch will strengthen each American's ability to uncover, 
document, analyze and report on electoral anomalies. Working as a Public 
Service Intermediary (see below). Votewatch will work with citizens to 
create the transparency necessary to guarantee that our democratic 
process and principles are being upheld through the election process. 
Votewatch make election data and analyses available so citizens can 
correct anomalies where they see fit: in some cases, citizens may 
independently decide that the necessary response will be challenging 
election outcomes, prior to the certification of election results.

    "In order to undertake this mission and facilitate its role as a 
public service intermediary, Votewatch will employ communication 
networks, including the internet, television and radio. These networks 
will give ordinary citizens the opportunity to watch the election, 
review input from fellow citizens and contribute by adding their own 
observations."
