FOCUS: If It Doesn't Have Paper Backups and Automatic Audits, It's Not an Election Security Bill
Joe Mullin, Electronic Frontier Foundation Mullin writes: "Right now, the U.S. Senate is debating an issue that's critical to our democratic future: secure elections."
EXCERPT:
The best solution to stop a possible hack of voting machines is clear: all machines must use a paper trail that’s regularly audited. Many states with voting machines already use paper, but more than a dozen are using at least some machines that provide no paper trail. In five states—New Jersey, Delaware, South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana—not a single jurisdiction has a paper trail.
As important as they are, paper trails only work if they’re checked. As we’ve said since the aftermath of the 2016 election, we not only need elections to be auditable, we need them to be audited.
Secure and verifiable voting isn’t optional. Tell the Senate to either pass a strong bill or oppose the Secure Elections Act.
