Who am I? Who are you? What do we want our country to be for us, and others? Do the people currently in office share our hopes and visions, or the visions of corporations and lobbyists? Forget voting party. Answer these questions and then choose a chance for change, or a continuation of the present.

Votesafe.org is run by America PAC, Elon Musk's super PAC.
It is not a government website. It checks your registration against America PAC's own private voter list, not your state's records, so it can tell you that you are registered when your county says you are not.
