Electronic Voting: Introduction

This book speaks about the Conference on Electronic Voting, held during October 2-5 2018, in Bregenz, Austria where more of 800 experts from over 35 countries have attended all the conferences over the last 14 years.

But, on this book, it shows the next chapters:

•           Security, usability and technical issues track
•          Administrative, legal, political and social issues track
•          Election and practical experiences track
•          Phd Colloquium on the day before the conference

On that conference they received 45 submissions, being, each of them, reviewed by 3 to 4 program committee members, using a double blind-review process but they only accept 29 % of the total. The selected papers cover a wide range of topics connected with electronic voting, including experiences and revisions of the real uses of E-Voting systems and corresponding processes in elections.

All what I’m going to share it’s to understand how algorithms work in order to know how it affects in the main election results.

I will try not to write a lot of maths formula or you will get sick because my purpose is to do it for general public to understand on 100 % how electronic voting works and what happened in US elections.

All the examples you will find in the book. I’m not going to write down everything, only a resume, from the examples. I will try not to copy literally the entire book.

On the main organization, at the first pages, David Bismark, on a conference TEDGlobal2010, speaks about how to avoid fraud in elections on a video. It shows a lot of examples from another election frauds from many countries thus lowering voter confidence. He gave the idea that all voting process should be verificable giving a receipt to the voter to check at home by internet and also all voting papers should be on a different position to “avoid” being hacked.

Susanne Caarls belows to democrat political party in Netherdals (left wing) as same as Christian Bull from Norway.

Gianpiero Catozzi, who influenced an election in Africa (Burkina Fasso and some many others), belows to the UN Development Program & also (if you visit his twitter account) it's agree with the Agenda 2030. Dan Malinovich & Ardita Driza Maurer also is in the same team like Gianpero Catozzi.

Thad Hall was working as director of elections in Pennsylvania, where the biggest electoral fraud was committed in the elections in November 2020… much has to talk about this. You can see his profile on his Linkeind webpage.

The rest are only professors from important universities and political scientists that I don’t intend to name them since they are inside the book.

It's funny to see that all people, that I mentioned, come from the left wing and not so much from the right wing
