Dear John, Here at Free Speech For People, one of our core priorities is to protect and expand access to the ballot for all US voters. We advocate for policies that ensure all citizens can freely and fairly exercise their franchise, and when necessary, we take legal action to protect your right to vote. Protecting access to the ballot also means promoting policies and technology that securely and reliably record and count votes. For more than two decades, countless research studies from state and federal government entities and academic researchers have come to the same conclusion – voting over the internet cannot be adequately secured for public elections. This is why Free Speech For People works with our coalition partners, Public Citizen and Verified Voting, to safeguard ballots and prevent the adoption and expansion of internet voting. There are a lot of questions and misinformation surrounding online voting so we, with our partners, are holding a free public information webinar to discuss the cybersecurity issues introduced with internet voting, policy considerations, and alternative voting options. Sign up here to join us for a briefing on Internet voting, Tuesday, August 8, at 4pm ET. We aim to address questions including: - If I can shop and bank online, why can’t I vote online?
- Why do some states permit some online voting for certain voters and others do not?
- What are the security risks associated with online voting?
- What about the claims by vendors that ballots can be secured with encryption, blockchain, or other security tools?
- What is the future for internet voting?
We will also have an interactive Q&A and look forward to answering your questions about this topic. The discussion will feature leading computer security and internet voting policy experts. RSVP here to join us! We look forward to seeing you there! Thank you, Susan Greenhalgh Senior Advisor on Election Security, Free Speech For People |
