Audit the Vote PA CEO, Toni Shupp, and CFO, Karen Taylor hosted a webcam meeting with Dr. Douglas Frank. During the meeting Dr. Frank recounted his six hour private June 2022 meeting with S.O.S. Kyle Ardoin. At that private meeting Dr. Frank recounted the demonstration presented to Ardoin that clearly showed the vulnerability of Louisiana's election system. In less than 15 minutes an individual was able to remotely hack into the election software and present Ardoin with his own password for the system! Dr. Frank recounts that he had assisted in the development of a plan to decertify and remove the Louisiana voting machines prior to the 2022 midterm elections. Ardoin initially agreed to this plan but then later backed out and has since issued public statements that there are no problems or issues with the Louisiana system.

Founded in February of 2021, what began as just average, everyday people sensing something went awry in 2020 has turned into a statewide movement for election integrity.
