Episode Description
Voter fraud conspiracy theories have reached a fever pitch. There are even claims that mail-in ballots are “a scam.” What’s the truth? Voting security experts & researchers Jennifer Kavanagh & Quentin Hodgson describe in-depth research revealing verifiable facts about security of all types of voting including absentee/mail-in, voting machines & paper at polling locations, & drop boxes. They provide research results for questions such as: • How are voter registration databases kept up-to-date & when do errors occur? • How is signature matching done? Can poll workers throw out ballots claiming signature mismatches then submit different ballots for the voter? • How can voters determine if their mailed-in ballots were rejected because of a signature mismatch prior to election day? • What controls do poll workers follow? Are “poll watchers” who interact with voters legal? • Is it possible for someone to send “unsolicited millions of ballots”? • Does “ballot harvesting” actually occur?

New shows the first Saturday of each month at 8 AM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Business Channel
There are more information security and privacy threats than ever before. As more technologies emerge, more surveillance tactics are used, and more artificial intelligence systems are deployed, cybersecurity and privacy risks grow exponentially. Rebecca has spent her entire career working to improve information security and privacy protections, by not only raising awareness of the issues within businesses and other types of organizations, but also by raising the awareness of these risks in the public and helping them to understand how to better protect their own personal data, allowing them to take their privacy protections into their own hands. Rebecca offers information about these existing and emerging security and privacy risks and provides fresh insights into the impacts of exploiting these risks, and gives guidance, tips, expert advice and news, with fascinating guests, to help all organizations, and the general public, understand what they need to do to mitigate these risks.
