Title: Election Integrity — 2024
Time: 14 November 2024 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm
Place: Online Zoom meeting only; see description
Presented by Dr. Rebecca Mercuri
Rebecca Mercuri has been researching and writing about election technology since the late 1980's. Her doctoral dissertation was "Electronic Vote Tabulation: Checks & Balances."
Rebecca demonstrated that the correctness of vote tallies from anonymously cast electronic ballots is not provable.
An early and tireless advocate for the necessity of transparently tabulated Voter Verified Paper Ballots, she has spoken before the House Science Committee, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, the Election Assistance Commission, the National Institute of Standards and Technologies, the U.K. Cabinet, the Brazilian government, and numerous state legislatures.
She was recently a guest on the Personal Computer Radio Show ( http://www.pcradioshow.org/ ) where she discussed issues of primary concern regarding the November 2024 General Election. To listen or download, use these links:

The New York Amateur Computer Club was established in March 1975 with the mission to further education in diverse areas of personal computing. The presentations at monthly meetings cover various platform computing systems and range from in-depth technical subjects to general overviews with broad appeal.
General meetings are always held on the second Thursday of each month and start promptly at 7 PM with announcements followed by a period of Questions and Answers called Random Access in which members and visitors are encouraged to ask technical questions or ask for advice on purchasing or using software, hardware, and related issues. There is a short break before the main presentation to enable attendees to meet and greet each other and to buttonhole people to get more detailed answers to specific questions. As an alternate to the main meeting, if a few people are interested, a new- or prospective-user group meeting is held to assist beginners.
The general meetings are open without charge to the public. Please consider becoming a member for $20 per year or renewing your membership, to help cover our operating costs. See instructions at nyacc.org .
