Last talk about Securing Democracy at #enigma2021: @jackhcable speaking about "THE FULL STACK PROBLEM OF ELECTION
Georgia did a full recount on paper ballots and it very much didn't stop people from doubting the election!
No! Have to focus on the whole stack, from election infrastructure to campaigns to people and mis/dis-informaton
* significant advances in recent years (e.g. paper ballots, risk-limiting audits, end-to-end verifiability)
* research needed in integrating these technologies
* expanding to mail-in voting?
* we can't do it securely today [oh no voatz reference]
* we have to combat malware, authentication etc.
* if we could solve them, that would be great. But in the meantime voting has to be successful for everyone
* less researched. Probably because they look boring
* Voter registration databases aren't working. Russians breached at least 2 states, targeted all 50 states
* little to no public scrutiny of these systems
* biggest unknown (see Sunny Consolvo's talk!)
* we must view campaign security as non-partisan and increase resources and services available
* major damage from domestic actors
* widespread mis/dis-information
* technical election security measures helps to debunk rumours floating around
* platforms: downranking and deplatforming
* trusted institutions
* debunking & fact checks
* media literacy
* increased civics education
