We had many intrigued registrars and election officials come to our booth and pick our brains about our voting solution and how we would bring voting online. Overall we had two kinds of feedback. The first being an encouraging comment about how we are doing the right thing and pushing voting into the future. The second kind of response we received was disbelief accompanied by an explanation of why we will always use paper to vote. It is expected to receive some sort of backlash from an industry that has not seen innovation and change for quite some time. We are disrupting the norm and attempting to restore faith in the democratic process. These responses have validated our efforts and reassured us that we are pursuing the correct path.

We finished the conference with a presentation and demo of our online voting platform, which is a proof of concept that can be customized to the states and counties specifications. CEO and Founder Adam Ernest led an excellent presentation followed by a one of a kind demonstration. The event was filled with interested people and decision makers from all levels of elections, even persons tied to the office of the Secretary of State for CA. After the demo, we held a time for questions and received some excellent feedback that would truly warrant the continuance of our pursuit for online voting.

This is where it becomes a little more of a personal piece. I, Brice Moon, have been the one responsible for providing you, our lovely readers, with this information. As of today, December 10th, as Follow My Vote stands on the precipice of something huge, I just wanted to take the time to personally wish them the best of luck, and I hope you will join in with me as well. For too long, voting, the most important of civic duties, has been allowed to remain a cumbersome and antiquated establishment, and I’m sure that many of us want to see this changed. I understand that the path to change is one littered with red tape and other various distractions, but I for one believe that an adventure such as this is about the journey. Along the way, we have been able to learn so much, and as long as we are able to share with others that a solution is at hand, then everything else will come in due time…voting will finally be allowed to enter the 21st century.

Folks, I want to thank you for reading these last few days, and I truly do hope that you are able to say that you have learned a thing or two. Again, wish the gang good luck tomorrow as they convene onto the Joint New Law Conference, and here’s to hoping they put on one heck of a good show!
