Viral Video of Mississippi Voting Machine Changing Man’s Vote Prompts Calls for Paper Ballots and Election Security Reform
On Monday, the National Election Defense Coalition, Electronic Privacy Information Center, R Street Institute, and Public Citizen called on Congress to hold hearings about election security and the use of electronic voting machines, noting that in addition to the possibility of technical glitches, “voting system vendors have operated with little oversight and no regulation for decades.”
“Given the gravity and urgency of this issue, we write to you to urge the committees to hold a hearing on election system security featuring sworn testimony from officers of the voting system vendors to shed more light on their practices which directly impact the security of the nation,” wrote the groups.
