Democracy is Broken

Brief History of LDV• 2008 — Launched in 2008 with 10 volunteers and $5000. First 500,000

visitors within six months

• 2012 — 129 million people voted in the 2012 election. 2 million visited LDV first. That’s 1.6% of all voters. We also registered 105,000 voters on $5000. Ask me how. It’s a good story.

• 2014 —election, we partnered with Google. When someone asked Google how to vote, Google trusted us to provide the answer. Our answers were viewed over 30 million times. Our partnership with Google is just getting started.

• We’ve had 4.2 million unique visitors through our site and another 30 million through Google.

• Now we’re looking to scale.

We built a tool that makes it easy to vote-by-mail

Voter turnout in 2014 was abysmal.

(only 36%)

–President Barack Obama

We’ve got to make voting easier, not harder, and modernize it for the

way we live now."
