The Fallacy of Paper: Why returning to all-paper elections is not the answer

Sep 15, 2016 Stefanie Histed

Recent media attention around voting system failures and the potential for election hacking have academics and anti-technology crusaders campaigning for exclusive reliance on a paper ballot. The misguided assumption that manual paper processes, with the high potential for human error and very simple manipulation potential, are somehow more unassailable than encrypted digital voting is both an intuitive and a mathematical fallacy. It is a misconception that could jeopardize the integrity of elections.

The Challenges Voters are Facing at the Polls Can Now Be Prevented

May 3, 2016 Stefanie Histed

Let’s stop complaining that the voting process is doomed to fail because we’re using old, failing machines. Let’s stop pretending that the integrity of voting requires 50-150 year old technology and process to protect it. The reality is that modern, proven, certified technologies can increase security, accuracy, convenience and accessibility in elections, while reducing cost and wait times for both voting and results.
