The Threat
Identities are being stolen. Is yours?
Detroit voters describe a journey of abuse by the system they were told to trust until they realized they’d been TRAPPED.
The film ends in thirty-three minutes, but the problems don’t.
That is what Scan. Check. Protect. is for: free technology that pulls your own voter record in about sixty seconds, shows you whether it’s right, and lets you report it on the spot if it isn’t.
Watch the film. Then check your own voter record with Scan. Check. Protect.
No one has to stay trapped.
35M
Over 35 million Americans move every year. Sometimes the registration follows, often it doesn’t. And the old record stays active at an address that’s been left behind. Someone else can vote it.
70%
Between 2022 and 2024, about 40 million notices were mailed regarding flagged voter records. Nearly 70% were never returned. Only 10% of registrations were removed. The rest are still on the rolls. Still votable.
1/5
One in five people will have their identity stolen in their lifetime. Your voter registration is part of your identity. No one tells you when it’s used: unless you check, you’ll never know.
The Solution
Have you been trapped?
Scan. Check. Protect. is a free tool that can help answer that question. SCP pulls your voter registration record from your state’s voter roll: name, address, and voting history, where the state provides it, so you can see whether your information is correct and take further action if something is wrong.
Fair and honest elections are not possible without accurate voter rolls and reliable processes. That work should be done for us. It isn’t — and America can't wait any longer.

Voter Trap House
What you’re seeing here is what we call a voter trap house in Detroit: an address with an unusual or unexplained concentration of registered voters. This house is vacant. Yet 13 voters are registered here — 9 of them voting from overseas. And this isn’t an isolated address. Detroit has thousands of vacant homes, raising serious questions about what is hiding in the voter rolls.
