ELECTIONS, REDISTRICTING & POLITICAL COMPETITION
PROPOSED / DRAFT — ELECTION INTEGRITY & VOTER CONFIDENCE
Elections must be secure, transparent, auditable, timely, and accessible to every eligible American citizen.
MPA supports voter identification with accessible means of obtaining ID; citizenship verification for federal-election eligibility; accurate voter rolls; secure equipment; cybersecurity standards; strict ballot chain of custody; bipartisan or multipartisan observation; transparent counting; clear mail-ballot safeguards; recount standards established before elections; rapid judicial review; and serious penalties for intentional fraud or manipulation.
Every vote should produce a voter-verifiable physical paper record and independent hard-copy audit trail. Post-election audits should compare reported results against physical ballots, with expanded hand counts when discrepancies warrant them.
Election Day should be the final day ballots may be cast. Lawfully cast ballots may still undergo legally required verification, curing, auditing, recounting, and judicial proceedings afterward. Systems should be designed to complete initial tabulation within 12 hours after polls close without preventing legitimate review.
Employees whose schedules would otherwise prevent them from reasonably voting should receive protected time to vote. Rules should be established before voting begins and not rewritten afterward merely because one side dislikes the result.
Every eligible citizen should be able to vote. Every lawful vote should be counted. No unlawful vote should be counted. Every election should be verifiable. Trust—but verify.
FAIR DISTRICTING
Voters should choose their representatives. Representatives should not choose their voters.
Congressional and state legislative districts should be drawn using neutral standards.
Maps should consider:
Equal population
Constitutional voting protections
Geographic continuity
Reasonable compactness
Communities of interest
Existing municipal and county boundaries where practical
Districts should not be deliberately designed primarily to guarantee partisan control.
Proposed maps, underlying data, methodologies, and alternatives should be public before final adoption.
The same standard applies whether Republicans, Democrats, or MPA control a state.
POLITICAL COMPETITION
America belongs to its citizens.
It does not belong to two political parties.
MPA supports reform of unreasonable barriers affecting:
Ballot access
Independent candidates
Third parties
Debate access
Election administration
Candidate qualification rules
MPA does not seek preferential treatment.
We seek equal treatment.
If a rule would be considered unfair when used against Republicans or Democrats, it should not be used against a new political movement either.
CITIZENS-ONLY VOTING & VOTER-REGISTRATION AUDITS
Only United States citizens may register or vote in any federal, state, county, municipal, school-board, special-district, primary, recall, referendum, ballot measure, or other public election. MPA shall pursue every statutory and constitutional change necessary to establish the rule nationwide.
Twice-Yearly Registration Audits
Every election authority must complete a voter-registration audit by January 31 and July 31 of each year.
The audit must identify verified deaths, duplicate registrations, confirmed noncitizens, people who requested cancellation, people registered outside the jurisdiction, and records made ineligible by a final lawful determination.
Systematic list maintenance and removal of verified ineligible records may continue until 45 calendar days before any public election in that jurisdiction.
During the final 45 days, broad systematic removal is frozen. Individual corrections may still be made for a registrant's request, verified death, duplicate record, final judicial or administrative determination, or another case in which reliable evidence and due process establish ineligibility.
Notice, Evidence & Rapid Appeal
No person may be removed merely for failing to vote or because of one unverified database match. The authority must document the evidence, provide prompt notice when reasonably possible, identify how to correct the record, and provide an expedited appeal that can restore an eligible voter before voting ends. A challenged voter who timely establishes eligibility must receive an effective method to cast a ballot that will be counted.
Each audit must publish aggregate counts of records reviewed, corrected, removed, restored, referred for investigation, and left unresolved, together with error rates and appeal outcomes. Protected personal data must not be published.
Core MPA standard: Citizen voting only. Accurate rolls. Two scheduled audits every year. Verified removals before the 45-day cutoff, with notice and a rapid path to correct mistakes.
