Election Security: Architecting Electoral Systems of Trust
Insight Talk 
Tuesday, November 19, 2019  |  11:00 am–11:45 am

Who won the election? Functional republics must answer this fundamental question. A failure to answer this question in the 2000 Presidential election led to upgrading our elections from analog paper to digital machines. A failure to answer this question in the 2016 election has led to calls to degrade our election back to an analog system.

This talk will take a nonpartisan look at the nature of security threats to our electoral system and consider what technologies will be essential to architecting electoral systems of trust.
