Voter fraud conspiracy theories have reached a fever pitch. There are even claims that mail-in ballots are “a scam.” What’s the truth? Facts matter. Verifiable facts revealed by solid, objective research.
In the latest episode of Data Security & Privacy with the Privacy Professor, voting security experts & researchers Dr. Jennifer Kavanagh & Quentin Hodgson describe in-depth research revealing verifiable facts about security of all types of voting including absentee/mail-in, voting machines and paper at polling locations, and drop boxes.
Jennifer and Quentin provide research results for questions such as:
- How are voter registration databases kept up-to-date & when do errors occur?
- How is signature matching done?
- Can poll workers throw out ballots claiming signature mismatches then submit different ballots for the voter?
- How can voters determine if their mailed-in ballots were rejected because of a signature mismatch prior to election day?
- What controls do poll workers follow?
- Are “poll watchers” who interact with voters legal?
- Is it possible for someone to send “unsolicited millions of ballots”?
- Does “ballot harvesting” actually occur?
Listen now to my latest show to hear Dr. Jennifer Kavanagh and Quentin Hodgson discuss these questions and more. Link shown below.
