As in previous years, the 2019 Defcon Voting Village presented a range of currently marketed touch-screen, direct recording electronic (DRE) , optical scan paper voting devices, paper ballot marking devices (BMDs) and electronic pol books (e-poll books) . While the Village did not attempt to (and could not ) provide samples of every piece of voting equipment currently in use throughout the United States, every piece of equipment at the Village is currently certified for use in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.

DEFCON 27 Voting Village Recommendations:

If we as a nation are serious, as we must be, about improving election security in the United States, particularly ahead of the 2020 presidenial election, the Voting Village recommends that the following as urgent priorities”

1] Nationwide deployment of mandatory post-election risk-limiting audits

2] Nationwide deployment of voter-marked paper ballot systems

3] Dramatically increased funding and other resources to help local election officials protect their IT infrastructure from foreign state actors and other threats.

Without taking these steps to support election administrators at the front lines of this clear national security threat, we fear that the 2020 presidential elections will realize the worst fears only hinted at during the 2016 elections: insecure, attacked, and ultimately distrusted.

DAMN!!!
