Recap: July 2020 Virtual Chapter Meeting

July 20, 2020 By Technology Director

Topic: Hack The Vote!
Presenter: Chris Roberts

One person, one vote… that’s what we keep telling ourselves, although let’s be honest that really isn’t how it works, at least in the US because of the cockeyed electoral college thing, so it’s more like “some states, most of the votes” AND we can break that down even further by “Electoral College, ALL the votes” because they don’t have to give a damm what you think OR who’s most popular in your state…

So, face it, it really doesn’t matter what the hell you vote, it all comes down to a set of folks…

Which sucks

SO, lets change things

Let’s hack the voting systems, after all they’re controlled by three major companies who don’t give a toss about security, who, between them have more lawyers than programmers and with whom we entrust out futures….ALL secured by passwords such as “EVEREST” “ESS, Password or 1234

Splendid…

What DO we do about it? Watch the recap below:

Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, signed a data privacy bill into law Tuesday.
