Saving Our Democracy Through Mobile Voting

With gerrymandering and voter suppression decimating our democracy, let’s talk meaningful solutions: Mobile phones. No really, we use our smart phones to check our financial data, our health data, and even file our taxes — so why note vote by phone? Today I invited philanthropist and tech leader executive Bradley Tusk to unpack why mobile voting is one of our bests shot at saving American democracy.

Imagine the power of voting by phone for people with mobility issues, service members serving around the world, or the college student away from home during election season? Well, not only is it possible, but we can make it happen within the next decade if we start working towards that goal today. Bradley and I explore how his background in politics and tech led him to champion this bold reform, how mobile voting could transform civic participation, and why increasing turnout can reduce extremism.

Bradley also addresses concerns about security, shares lessons from 20 pilot programs, and lays out what’s next for bringing this technology to cities across the country. Finally, we discuss how younger generations can get involved—and what else needs fixing once we secure the vote. You can join the campaign to fix our broken politics by signing up with Mobile Voting.
