Verify and Survey Voters in Zapata County, TX

Save to Favorites

Zapata County, TX had one of the most remarked on shifts of vote count in the country. The AskTheVoters project would like to verify and understand the reasons for the shift.

Volunteers will survey individuals in one or two selected precincts, asking them to anonymously verify their vote (using a specially designed app), and will engage in a short conversation about voters reasons and needs.

Ask the Voters is a nonpartisan project and undertakes similar surveys at the request of candidates or organizations regardless of any party affiliation. (Though we have limited resources and cannot guarantee to fulfill all requests, we can also advise groups on how to undertake a similar survey themselves)

The goals of this project are

1) to audit and verify vote totals as a way of ensuring the integrity of our elections

2) to increase understanding of the needs and values of the residents of local areas

This is a one-week project, but it is not necessary for volunteers to participate all the days. We do ask that volunteers plan to spend at least 4 hours on the project over the course of the week.
