Sorry, this post got mangled in a previous database record.
Jack Lerner (SLTPPC), Matt Zimmerman (EFF) and I just finished a superb "Electronic Voting Primer" as a half-day tutorial at the ACM's Computers, Freedom and Privacy conference 2006.
Avi Rubin (JHU; ACCURATE) started the event off with an introduction, followed bby Lillie Coney (EPIC) who spoke about the intersection of electronic voting and traditional voting rights issues. I then gave two short talks; one about HAVA implementation and another about exactly what types of voting systems currently exist on the market. I was followed by Larry Norden (Brennan Center) who spoke about a comprehensive study of voting systems threats (done with Eric Lazarus) that they'll be releasing in about three weeks. Then Galen Hancock and Stephen Dang (SLTPPC) spoke about work they've been doing related to intellectual property issues in electronic voting that might frustrate election officials in doing their jobs. Matt Zimmerman then gave a litigation update classifying e-voting litigation into a variety of interesting categories. Finally, Nancy Wallace (VerifiedVoting.org) gave a legislation update.
The proceedings were recorded onto cassette and we'll digitize it and post it on the Samuelson Clinic website soon.
PS: If you're here... holla holla.
