Weren't able to join us in DC for @Microsoft's #RLASummit with @BrennanCenter, @CommonCause, and @DefendOurVotes? Watch the full webcast and learn how and why states and election officials across the country are implementing Risk-Limiting Audits

New reports from @VerifiedVoting on pilot risk-limiting audits in the City of Fairfax, VA, and Orange County, CA, show how robust auditing of election results can build confidence that votes were counted as cast. Read the reports:

Delighted that 16 years later, Boulder's "Citizens for Verifiable Voting" election integrity work continues to gain momentum, helping Colorado and other states with #RiskLimitingAudits. Thanks Paul Tiger @metafy Paul Walmsley @HillHall @Secureelections @DwightShellman et al.
Colorado is held up as an example to the country for secure elections. This is how we got there. https://t.co/PGyFRrkz5A

.@AsmBillQuirk bill AB 2125 for risk-limiting election audits is now California law. Voluntary & temporary, but a step forward. CA will get valuable experience. #electionintegrity @VerifiedVoting @Secureelections @jennycohn1 @AlexPadilla4CA

1/ Hey, Lilia here (@liliavchang)! You might have heard that some teenagers at Def Con—a hacking conference held this month in Las Vegas—successfully hacked state voting websites. But this isn’t true. My story out today explains why.
propublica.org
Hacking conference organizers said kids had hacked “exact clones” of state election reporting websites, but that didn’t happen.

You cannot make insecure software systems more secure by being encouraging and not saying mean things about them. It’s not that kind of insecurity.

Paper records and audits are table stakes for any election security bill. Why’d the Senate remove them from the Secure Elections Act?

The Senate is working on a bill to secure election infrastructure against cybersecurity threats, but, unless amended, it will widely miss the mark. The current text of the Secure Elections

Got to see some incredible work in the @defcon @votingvillageDC. So important to leverage the talent and energy at Def Con to discover and disclose vulnerabilities in our election system. Thanks Jake Braun and @HarriHursti. #votingvillage

Number one question at @VotingVillageDC this week: given how insecure voting systems are, what should we do? Overwhelming consensus among experts: 1 - Paper ballots (precinct-counted optical scan) 2 - Mandatory risk-limiting audits 3 - More resources to protect back-end systems

This is why we need voter-verified paper ballots and manual post-election audits of the paper. That's the only practical, low-cost defense that can detect and correct attacks like we showed.
Just stole an election at @VotingVillageDC. The machine was an AccuVote TSX used in 18 states, some with the same software version. Attackers don't need physical access--we showed how malicious code can spreads from the election office when officials program the ballot design.

So great to see election officials and technologists join forces at @VotingVillageDC and apply their collective experience to strengthening security. When we work together, voter confidence doesn't have to be a matter of faith--we can have evidence-based elections.

Excited to join @OCRegistrar Neal Kelley and his team for their risk limiting audit pilot starting later today. The audit is being conducted as a pilot to refine their approaches to risk-limiting audits. Updates on the process will be posted here:

“It’s almost like a disaster recovery plan for elections — that if a disaster were to befall the vote count, we could recover from it,” said President @marianschneider speaking to @washingtonpost about Colorado’s voting system. #VerifyOurVote

The state did virtually everything election experts recommend to stave off a repeat of 2016.
