Voting Insecurity: Why We Won’t Be Able to Verify the Outcome of the 2016 Election with Barbara Simons, Oct 20, 2016

Partially as a result of hanging chads, almost $4 billion dollars was allocated by Congress in 2002 to “modernize” our elections. The rush to spend money before there were any meaningful federal standards or testing resulted in the purchase of a large number of poorly designed and insecure voting systems. Most of these old systems still in use are way past their use-by date, with ancient software that may no longer be maintained and physical components in need of replacements that may no longer be manufactured. Election officials trying to cope with failing voting systems and inadequate funding may consider what they hope are cheaper alternatives, such as Internet voting.

This talk by Barbara Simons, an expert on electronic voting, will present a very brief overview of how we got to where we are today and what needs to be done (both technical and legal) to move to an evidence-based voting system. She will also discuss some of the false claims made about Internet voting, as well as why Internet voting is a major security threat to our democracy.
