Penn-Live Patriot-News | September 20, 2024

Harrisburg, Pa. – RightCount Leadership Advisory Councilmember Toni Chase, a U.S. Navy veteran from Cumberland County, writes in the Harrisburg Patriot-News about her experience as a military voter in the Commonwealth and why fellow Pennsylvanians can trust the election process safeguards to deliver an accurate result.

“Dear Editor,

“I am writing in response to ongoing discussions about election integrity in Pennsylvania. As a U.S. Navy veteran, a Republican and a member of the RightCount Leadership Advisory Council, I feel a deep sense of responsibility to support and protect our electoral process.

“My family’s service to our country spans generations—my father, husband, children, and I have all proudly served in the Navy. Each of us has voted absentee with confidence, knowing our votes would be counted accurately and our voices heard. It’s a trust we do not take lightly, and it’s a trust that I believe every voter should feel.

“Pennsylvania has given us the opportunity to protect and exercise the right to vote, and now, I am proud to join RightCount in efforts to build and maintain that same trust for all voters in our Commonwealth. Safeguarding our election system is not just a matter of policy; it’s about protecting the core values that we, as service members and as citizens, have dedicated our lives to defending.

“Election security is not a partisan issue; it’s an American one. By working together, we can ensure that every vote is counted fairly and that our democracy remains strong.”
