Oppose Online Voting in California
The California State Senate is considering S.B. 970, a bill that would allow electronic ballot return (commonly called internet voting) in California elections. Security researchers and computer scientists have consistently found that online voting is unreliable and cannot be secured against the threats unique to internet-based systems. The National Academies of Sciences, the UC Berkeley Center for Security in Politics, and numerous academic researchers have all concluded that ballots cast online are at significant risk of compromise.
In an era where confidence in elections is at an all-time low, reducing the security of our voting systems is especially dangerous. Call your state senator now and urge them to oppose S.B. 970 and protect the security and integrity of California elections.
