The Mission
Not built by an expert.
Built by someone who noticed.
CastLedger wasn't conceived in a research lab or a policy think tank. It was conceived by a California locksmith who spent years watching the public conversation about election integrity devolve into a cycle of accusation and denial — with no mechanism for resolution. Not because resolution is impossible, but because no one had built the tool to make it possible.
The core insight was simple: disputed elections aren't primarily a fraud problem. They're an architecture problem. The systems we use to run elections were never designed to prove their own integrity. A system that can't prove its integrity will always be vulnerable to doubt — regardless of how carefully it's administered.
CastLedger exists because that problem is solvable, and because the right structure to solve it is a nonprofit — accountable to democratic integrity, not to investors or political actors.
"This wasn't built by someone who came from cryptography. It was built by someone who understood the problem existed and refused to accept that it couldn't be solved."

came from
CastLedger was conceived on February 25, 2026, by Jamie Ross Sanchez — a California locksmith who spent years watching the public conversation about election integrity devolve into a cycle of accusation and denial with no mechanism for resolution.
Organization
Structure and
current status
CastLedger Inc. is organized as a California nonprofit public benefit corporation, currently in the formation process. The nonprofit structure reflects the mission directly — this platform exists to serve democratic integrity, not to extract value from the jurisdictions that depend on it.
CastLedger operates on a service-contract model. Jurisdictions pay a per-election fee. CastLedger owns and operates all hardware. No equipment purchases. No technology lifecycle to manage.
