Turning A Blind Eye Does Not Fix Voting Security Vulnerabilities

Data Security and Privacy with the Privacy Professor

The sheer number of different voting & elections systems and applications used in USA elections is staggeringly large and diverse; as they are in other countries. The number of people involved in elections is also a significant factor impacting elections security, along with physical access security to the voting equipment, paper ballots, and registration data. The resulting complexity creates many real voting security issues that must be addressed. Voting machines vendors should embrace help to identify risks, not simply deny risks exist. In this 4th in a series of voting security shows, we look at the findings from the “Voting Machine Hacking Village” at DEFCON, state-level cybersecurity election plans, current voting & elections security vulnerabilities, and nation state elections hacking activities. We also answer key questions about mobile voting and paper ballots. Listen in as I discuss these topics & more with Jake Braun, Executive Director of the Harris CPI & CEO of CGA.
