Make a statement on the integrity of the election system
Dear Editor:
People in high places and with significant influence have, without credible substantiation, called into question the integrity of the locally directed American election system beginning with the 2020 election.
This is exceptionally unfortunate and very serious, with democracy-ruining consequences, which can now easily find expression in the November elections right here in our own Loudoun County.
In response to this unstable political landscape, I invite, with neither hostility nor judgment, the leaders of the Loudoun Democrats and the Loudoun County Republican Committee to issue a joint statement as to the professionalism, security, safety and integrity of our county’s election apparatus.
This will help calm the waters such that we can vote and observe the final outcomes with confidence, barring any problems that arise and are announced through the system itself.

First, I appreciate your comments and think expressed confidence from our Republican, Democratic and Independent party leaders is a positive suggestion.
Second, as someone who has served and continues to serve as volunteer election officer, I would recommend that anyone who is unsure about the integrity of our voting systems and outcomes look to serve as a future election officer. Understanding and witnessing the multiple safeguards in place truly makes each precinct worker understand the impressive integrity of the system design and checks and balances in place to ensure accurate results.
