Delete the Voting Machines !
Welcome to the Coalition of Concerned Voters of Ohio (CCVO) website. We are a grassroots organization dedicated to ensuring the integrity of our elections by getting rid of all electronic voting machines and adopting hand-marked and hand-counted paper ballots.

Why Action Is Needed:
No Independent Security Testing
The Ohio Secretary of State refuses to allow independent experts to inspect voting machines for security flaws found in similar machines used in other states.
​
Internet Connection Denied, but Proof Withheld
Claims that machines are “air-gapped” and free from wireless modems can’t be verified by the public because test results are classified as a state secret. CCVO has recently filed a lawsuit with the Secretary of State's office to compel them to release reports proving that testing was actually done. The affidavit is presented below.
​
No Transparency in Software
Voting machine software is proprietary and not tested for hidden malicious code. Forensic audits in other states have exposed vote manipulation.
​
Voters Can’t Truly Verify Their Vote
Whether using touchscreens or paper ballots, voters cannot confirm that their vote was accurately recorded once scanned or converted to QR codes or machine language.
​
Full Post-Election Audit denied by Secretary LaRose
Checking 5% of the ballots is not an audit but a "spot" check. While the Secretary claims 99.9% audit accuracy, he denied volunteer citizens in a rural county the right to hand-count less than 7,000 ballots in the 2024 election to verify the machine count. Why?
​
If we can’t verify the machines are safe, we can’t trust the results!

Demanding Proof: Ohio Voting Machine Lawsuit
CCVO files lawsuit with Ohio Supreme Court.
Since April 2024, CCVO has repeatedly tried to get a simple answer from the Secretary of State's office to the question “Do any Ohio voting machines contain wireless modems?" If so, anyone with a smart phone knows that they can connect to the internet through the cell phone network. The same is true for voting machines. This opens the door to bad actors being able to gain access to the voting machines and manipulate votes as has been documented in in other states (Refer to the section "Machine findings " on this website).
We've been told that all Ohio voting machines have been tested and do not contain modems and by law, cannot connect to the internet, but the test report can't be released to the public since it contains state classified information. A cybersecurity expert hired by CCVO who used to test voting machines disputes this claim and says the reports should be released. To read more, click on the buttons below.

Ohio Officials Continue to Protect the Machines by Blocking CCVO Initiatives and Ignoring Questions
-
​December 2023: CCVO provided State Senators, Representatives, and County Commissioners in 12 Ohio Counties a comprehensive package on voting machine security flaws that was ignored.
-
April 2024: House Bill 472 - CCVO provides testimony to Ohio House Homeland Security Committee to amend the Ohio Revised Code to allow counties the option to replace voting machines with hand-counted ballots but the bill did not make it out of committee.
-
December 2024: Monroe County Ohio volunteers offered to hand count ballots at no cost after the 2024 election was certified to compare with the machines, but was denied by the Secretary of State.
-
June 2025: Petition Drive to place the question of removing voting machines on the ballot was denied by the Secretary of State.
Can Hand-Counting Ballots Be Relied On To Replace The Machines?
​​​​If voting machines can't be trusted, is hand -counting paper ballots a feasible alternative?
​Those who defend keeping the voting machines say that there really isn't a suitable replacement for them. They scoff at hand-counting paper ballots as an archaic concept, saying "It would take too much time" or "It's too prone to human error." The fact is that no official in Ohio has actually done a feasibility study on hand-counting ballots to come to a rational and unbiased conclusion. It turns out that it is a time-proven concept that has been adopted by many nations in the world and was the way ballots were counted in Ohio for its first 130 years.
