Last week, we tested our equipment with poll workers. One newbie said "I wish all of my systems at work were this easy." A poll worker with 30y of experience was shocked by how easy it was to use, said there's no comparison between our system and others. Easy --> fewer mistakes --> more trust.

It's not just that legacy voting machines in use are close to a decade old, it's that they're built to a standard that's 21 years old! Oh, and they're all counting votes with secret source code. Time for modern security, robustness, and real transparency.

Tina Peters used to be the clerk in Mesa County, Colorado. Today she's serving a jail sentence for tampering with voting equipment in the wake of the 2020 election. Putting politics aside, what did Tina Peters actually do? What consequences and risks did this have for Colorado's voting systems?

đš This week, we got a call from a VotingWorks jurisdiction â a local resident watchdog was alarmed that the numbers from our voting system tally sheet "didn't add up". So we got on a video call.

Some older voting traditions, like this public hand-vote in a smaller Swiss Canton, are fascinating. "It's not a secret ballot, so it's not perfect." Indeed. The secret ballot is quintessential to modern democracy and makes running an election quite challenging.
