California SOS calls for open source voting software

MIT computer science professor Ron Rivest, who has studied the security and privacy of voting systems, says that these systems should be designed to work even if the software underneath is somehow flawed. "Do you have to trust the software in order to trust the election results?" he asks. The ideal situation, Rivest says, is one where the presence of bugs or malware cannot affect the outcome of an election.

Oregon VRC in Action

In the news...

A column by Oregon VRC member Virginia Ross recently appeared in the Oregon State Bar Bulletin. The column explains the failure of the HB 3270 effort under the hand of Director of Elections John Lindback and appeals to the incoming Secretary of State to take strong, remedial measures to insure verification of our machine tallied election results.

Verifying Secret Vote Counts

Legislative Update

HB 3270 passed

The new law requires an inadequate "placebo" audit, which does not verify election results and is no better than a paper seatbelt in ensuring that the secret software in our optical scanners has tallied the ballots correctly. The new legislature and the new Oregon SOS must take strong steps to remedy this problem. Oregon VRC will be monitoring the SOS race carefully and reporting back to our supporters concerning this vital matter.

Please check back for continued Election Reform news and new Action Items and updates concerning the SOS race.
