Elections can't run on good intentions alone. They need systems that have actually been checked, and results people can actually believe. That's the whole reason VotingWorks exists: to build election technology that everyone can trust. 🔗 www.prnewswire.com/news/votingw...

Elections should be transparent, verifiable, and built on trust that’s earned in the open. We started VotingWorks to set a higher standard. Every line of code is open and every process checkable. Eight years in, that hasn't changed. #BoringElections #ElectionSecurity #VotingWorks

Last week we spent two days at the Missouri Election Officials Conference. The message was clear: officials want equipment that's secure, easy to use, and simple to move between sites. That's exactly what VotingWorks builds for. Thanks to everyone who stopped by!

We build the only open-source voting system used in U.S. elections today. It's public — not because it's a nice feature, but because we believe transparency is how election technology earns trust. #OpenSource #ElectionSecurity

WATCH: 50 seconds from DEF CON's Voting Village. Security researcher Jason Wareham spent the last year examining voting equipment. His take on VotingWorks? "I admire them." We're dedicated to building a voting system every American can trust, and that requires the transparency of open-source.

The first election held on VotingWorks equipment was almost exactly 7 years ago. We've come a long way. And we've got some exciting stuff to share in the next few months. We need a voting system every American can trust. We need a voting system with nothing to hide.

VotingWorks voting machines and tabulators are explicitly stripped of all Microsoft secure-boot signing keys. We accept only our own signing keys. That means only VotingWorks-built and testing-lab reviewed software runs on VotingWorks equipment. arstechnica.com/security/202...

Microsoft’s Secure Boot has been broken for a decade and no one noticed until now

Old and forgotten "shims" Microsoft failed to revoke have made Secure Boot bypasses simple.

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. wnyc.org/npr/nx-s1-58...

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.
