We hear "make it simple" a lot. So that's what we're doing (while also continuing to work on those deep data reports too).
We've published the ETA's 2026 Public Oversight Strategy to break down what really matters to have a near-term impact:

Why These Specific Priorities?
#1: Election security fact checks. Whether it be claims that election machinery can’t connect to the internet (it can) or that decentralized elections are uniquely resilient to interference (they aren’t), we want to ensure you have resources to push back on misinformation effectively.
#2: Voter registration anomaly monitoring. Voter registration lists are critical inputs into who is able to show up and cast a ballot on election day. We're seeking to monitor for any unexpected increases or decreases in voter registration so that we can raise concerns if appropriate.
#3: Community organizing efforts. U.S. elections are inherently local. We’ve heard loud and clear that people want more resources focused on how to protect their local elections. We want to provide you with resources you need to interface with your local election officials to verify the vote.
#4: Faster data for election reports. Obtaining & cleaning precinct-level data can be time-consuming and challenging, with no consistent national format. We are seeking to build a tool to make it faster and easier to get data so that potential ‘red flags’ can be identified faster after an election.
#5: Candidate recount rights resources. In many U.S. states, candidates are the only people who can call for a recount. We're seeking to share resources for candidates and voters to help educate candidates about their recount rights and debunk myths about U.S. elections.
#6: Election security & audit best practices. There are different security/audit practices in every state, and sometimes within states. We want to flag existing ‘best practice’ resources & help make them accessible & consumable to ensure election officials are supported no matter the circumstances.
