Meetings now start at 6:30 PM Date: Thursday, March 4, 2010 -- 6:30 PM -- [Note new earlier start time] Main PresentationTopic(s): `Computers in Elections -- `How to Prevent Fraud? Speaker(s): Kurt Hyde Backgrounder: by Ralph Green Kurt Hyde believes he is the earliest known advocate for a paper trail in electronic voting equipment and I have not found any earlier advocates. He spoke about the need for what he called a "manually recount-able paper ballot", known better today as a Voter-Verifiable Paper Ballot, at a symposium that was held on the campus of Boston University on August 14th and 15th, 1986. This contributed to the nation's first paper trail law being passed in New Hampshire in 1994. Kurt has since expanded his studies in elections to all aspects of elections. Kurt has written numerous magazine articles dealing with all aspects of election fraud as well speaking before numerous audiences. Kurt was a recent candidate for public office, so I expect his research has not been purely academic. He is a former member of DFWUUG. If you want to read more about this issue, I recommend the articles by Ed Felten on http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/ Normal Meeting LocationLocation: Sun Microsystems in Dallas Our meetings are always open to the public at no charge.
