Optimizing Technology Panel - Candice Hoke - Summit 2011

Top US experts in computer science, cyber security, election policy and law delve into the serious technical considerations that must be addressed when determining how best to optimize technology to improve overseas and military voting processes. In order to comply with the MOVE Act, many states have implemented new technologies, or will, with the aim of assisting UOCAVA voters in their voting process. What happened in this vein in 2010 and what do the experts say we can learn from it? What are the technical challenges that need to be confronted as more and more states take advantage of technology to meet their goals in serving UOCAVA voters?

The panel discusses these and other issues of essential importance to our state election officials and voter communities. Panelists include: * Dr. Josh Benaloh, Cryptographer, Microsoft Research * Asst. Professor J. Alex Halderman, University of Michigan * Joe Jarzombek, Director for Software Assurance, National Cyber Security Division, Department of Homeland Security * Professor David R. Jefferson, Center for Applied Scientific Computing, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory * Moderator: Assoc. Professor Candice Hoke, Director, Center for Election Integrity, Cleveland-Marshall College of Law
