Topic: Election Integrity: Past Present, and Future

Kurt Hyde holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics and a master’s degree in Systems Management. Recently retired, he was a computer professional from 1977 until 2011 during which time he has been a Computer Programmer, an Instructor, a Software Course Developer, a Systems Analyst, and a Database Administrator.

As an Adjunct Instructor teaching Systems Analysis at Rivier College in Nashua, New Hampshire, Kurt led his students in a study of a computerized voting booth in 1985 and 1986 and concluded that computerized voting equipment needed what he then called a “Manually Recountable Ballot”, now known as a Voter-Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT). He spoke about that topic on August 14th, 1986 at a symposium he co-chaired at Boston University on August 14th and 15th, 1986. To date, that is still the earliest known public presentation by a computer professional advocating for a mandatory paper trail in electronic voting equipment.

Kurt has written a number of magazine articles on electoral fraud. He is also a retired Lieutenant Colonel from the US Air Force Reserves.
