What, where, when, why, and WHO is there? Mail-in voting and Democracy is calling each and every one of US.
In journalism, the “'W's” are “Who,” “What,” “When,” “Where,” “Why.” and now "DI"
DEMOCRATIC INTEGRITY includes the following elements: Competence, Fairness, Independence, and Transparency,
An election with a high level of integrity limits opportunities for an administrator to act with unchecked discretion. These opportunities include decisions about when and where registration and early voting are conducted and what information is given to a candidate or a political party. A Supervisor of Elections should never use their office to express partisan support or opposition, and also should avoid doing so on personal social media accounts.
COMPETENCE: Some elections have too few paper ballots available, or polling stations were not practical and accessible, or the workers weren't trained or equipped for Election Day.
FAIRNESS: Good communication can mitigate potential issues of unfairness. Supervisors of Elections must reach out to the community before making decisions that could be considered as insensitive, or unfair.
INDEPENDENCE: Some election administrators must raise campaign contributions. As such, some might be called on to make decisions affecting contributors. Their independence includes avoiding conflicts of interest and treating all parties fairly by adhering to the rule of law.
TRANSPARENCY: Candidates, as well as voters, have the right to know how an election office conducts business. All elections must be transparent. Emails and other communications should be housed in secure servers with a permanent record kept for quick compliance with open-government requests. Oversight should be subject to open-meeting, or government in the sunshine, along with requirements for bipartisan representation. Once polls close, this vote-counting must be live-streamed.
