I was recently named to the board of directors of the Election Fairness Institute, a 501(c)(3) organization based in Phoenix, Arizona. The organization is new this year and is in the early stages of growth and influence that I believe will make it a reputable force in the near future. I report to and advise the chairman, former Arizona State Representative Mark Finchem. Finchem ran for Arizona Secretary of State in 2022, in a now infamous quasi-election that robbed the entire top of the ticket of imminent victory.
Therein lies the purpose for the organization – to provide guidance and oversight for making our elections fair. The stated description of the EFI is:
The Election Fairness Institute, Inc. (EFI) is…engaged in election process research and publication of such research for the public interest of advancing transparent, secure and fair elections, free of special interest influence over the suffrage of U.S. Citizens.
Action points supporting the mission of enforcing strict compliance with the law are listed below:
Top 5 Priorities
I. Conduct research and support litigation against cartel money-laundering in American elections.
II. Supply-chain approach to ballot handling process design to ensure auditability and chain of custody including paper ballots with currency-grade watermark technology.
III. Relentless examination of “black box ballot tabulation” machines, comparative analysis between tabulation record and paper ballots, and the improbability of accuracy.
IV. Support for Election Day Voting, Hand Count and Count Where Cast (CWC) process.
V. Analysis showing why Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is a threat to every voter’s voice at the polls.

Personal Insights
I do not engage in petty bickering, and care about one thing – results. I suspect this article will be scrutinized thanks to the many competing interests in this movement, and that is fine. The EFI, just like this article, strives for transparency. I expect you, the reader, to scrutinize my work, the contributions of any think tank or institution, and to discern which organizations are best for your personal support, whether in terms of hours of work contributed, or a measure of financial support. Usually, when an organization like EFI appears, critics suggest the purpose is to financially defraud donors to enrichen the members. Let me clear this up for you: the chairman takes a small, board-approved stipend at an amount no one would leave existing employment for, and the board members are unpaid.
All current fund-raising efforts are focused on providing for EFI-related events or travel, to pay contractors for work, and most importantly and immediately applicable, the Fractal Project. That project will use the best available expertise and technologies to examine registered voter rolls as they are acquired to sniff out “phantom” voters and force accountability and will “examine ‘vote by mail’ affidavit envelope signatures for validity” and potentially be part of signature match operations.
The EFI will showcase my work in an easily navigable library and will host the contributions and collaborations of the foremost election integrity activists who have emerged in recent years. The home page features relevant election integrity news and links and will only expand as time passes and capabilities increase. The EFI is an open book. You are free to message with any questions you have, and all future collaborative work projects will be made available to those who keep in touch with the organization.
If you know me, you understand I don’t promote products, people, or organizations I don’t find reputable. If this endeavor strikes a positive chord with you as it does me, and you are able to support us, we would be grateful for your donation to our operation.

Author’s Note: Thank you for supporting the critical work of election integrity, whether as a reader of this journal, a contributor to EFI or other organizations, or as a grassroots leader or volunteer somewhere in America. We are laying the groundwork for future success and paying it forward for future generations every single day.
Happy to support. I have read a lot from the Fractal Project; good to see they will have sane, sound leadership from the likes of Capt K.
This is why I mention and will continue to mention Mr. and Mrs. Clements and family and Seth Keshel and family front and center in three weekly prayer groups that I participate in.
Thanks from California!
Mr. J. Ingvar Odegaard
