Law Schools Fault Election Security
Most states are failing to take the steps necessary to ensure the integrity of elections conducted on electronic voting machines, according to a report jointly released today by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law and the Samuelson Law, Technology, & Public Policy Clinic at the law school of the University of California at Berkeley.
The report, “Post-Election Audits: Restoring Trust in Elections,” stresses that states should audit paper records of votes cast to check electronic vote tallies and the reliability of voting machines. Of the 38 states that have paper records of votes cast after elections, 23 do not require audits of those records, the report says.—Andrea L. Foster
