Counting Votes and Making Votes Count
- to This is a past program
Since the 2000 election in Florida, we have grown increasingly insecure about the integrity of our voting systems. Electronic ballots have added to fears that election results can be manipulated. The latest information on the status of voter reform is discussed in advance of the November Presidential election by California Secretary of State Debra Bowen, a pioneer in open government reform and personal privacy rights, who is responsible for overseeing state and federal elections to ensure the integrity of voting machines. She is joined by professor Richard Hasen, one of the leading experts on voting systems, election law, and campaign finance regulation, and co-editor of the Election Law Journal.
Public programs are made possible by a major gift from Ann and Jerry Moss.
Additional support is provided by Laura Donnelley, Bronya and Andrew Galef, and the Hammer Programs Committee.
