287-Securing Democracy Through Technology with Christopher Baum

Send us a text

Christopher Baum shares his expertise on voting technology and election integrity systems designed to ensure fair and accurate vote counting for all citizens.

• Vote Right is developing mobile and precinct voting systems currently pursuing federal certification
• Mobile voting technology will enable secure, verifiable voting from phones with multiple security layers
• Precinct systems will operate offline with triple redundancy for each ballot and support up to 22 languages
• Hand-counting ballots is prohibitively expensive, costing an estimated $659,000 for Shasta County's 53,000 primary ballots
• Human counting is inherently flawed and susceptible to both unintentional errors and potential manipulation
• Low primary turnout (typically 7-8% of eligible voters) gives disproportionate power to partisan extremes
• Winners of elections have little incentive to reform systems that elected them, while losers lack the power
• Media fragmentation contributes to information bubbles and decreased trust in election processes
• Early voting and accessible systems help increase participation and make elections more inclusive
• Technology that supports voters with disabilities ensures everyone's voice can be heard in elections
