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 to the question “Do any Ohio voting machines contain wireless modems which would allow them to be connected to the internet, which in turn, could open the door to allowing bad actors to manipulate votes?” There has already been documented evidence of this occurring in other states such as Colorado (refer to Machine Findings on this site). The SoS office says that all voting machines in Ohio are tested for modems by the Voting System Test Laboratories (VSTLs) that federal certify the machines. Unfortunately, they won’t release the test report to the public because it allegedly contains “state secrets.” CCVO has retained the services of a subject matter expert who worked for the same VSTLs used to test Ohio’s machines for over ten years and he claims that there is nothing in the test report that would qualify as sensitive or classified data, and it should be released. CCVO was basically told to “trust” that the test was completed, and no modems were found. A favorable ruling by the Ohio Supreme Court on CCVO’s lawsuit would force the SoS to release the test report so the public can learn how the test was conducted and what was found.

Stolen Elections
The Takedown of Democracies Worldwide
September 3rd, 2025 Paperback; a highly suggested read by CCVO!
The Authorized Version: Ripped from the pages of a spy novel, comes a non-fiction account of an international conspiracy against freedom for every current and future American voter. It’s being called the greatest criminal conspiracy in history!
In 2019, two U.S. government whistleblowers investigating the Venezuelan government's involvement in drug trafficking and money laundering, inadvertently discovered an international conspiracy to influence elections in the United States and in over 70 countries around the world.
NYT-bestselling author Ralph Pezzullo takes readers through the incredible risks and challenges whistleblowers Martin Rodil and famed, former CIA operations officer Gary Berntsen faced as they conducted their investigation and the initial rejection they faced by members of Congress from both political parties and officials in the FBI and CIA when they first presented the evidence they had collected.

Ohio Officials Dismiss Warnings About Voting Machine Security Flaws
Over the past year, the Coalition of Concerned Voters of Ohio (CCVO) has repeatedly raised concerns to officials about the security vulnerabilities in Ohio's voting machines. Despite these warnings, officials have shown little interest in addressing the potential risks.
Ohio Voting Machines May Not Be Secure For 2026 Election!
Although Ohio law prohibits voting machines to be connected to the internet, many of Ohio's voting machines may contain wireless modems which would allow them to be connected to the internet through mobile cellular networks.
The Ohio Board of Voting Machine Examiners (BVME) is supposed to test that the machines do not contain wireless modems, but when CCVO asked the BVME and the Secretary of State's office to provide documented proof of this, they failed to do so.
One possible conclusion is that the test wasn't done and our voting systems are in danger of being exploited by malicious actors who could manipulate our elections.

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.
