Voting rights and election defense programs
About
The sole program of Psephos, Inc. is the National Election Defense Coalition which serves to build bi-partisan election reform coalitions to better educate the public and lawmakers on issues of election integrity and help promote solutions to protect American voting systems from fraud and abuse. All expenses in our 2018 budget were allocated for the NEDC to cover the cost of professional organizers and consultants, conferences, travel and media campaigns. Accomplishments included: In 2018 NEDC organized two congressional briefings which featured leading experts from all sides of the political spectrum voicing support for election security reforms. We published a critical report on internet voting with our partners from the computer science community. We organized over 30 computer security and election experts to write to the Dept of Homeland Security and the US Election Assistance Commission to discourage the use of insecure wireless modems in voting equipment. We organized a demonstration hack of an emailed ballot at the DEF CON Hackers Conference, chich, coupled with direct advocacy, successfully pressed the Washington Secretary of State to issue an emergency rule to curtail email voting for security reasons. We launched a new website to function as a hub for bipartisan grassroots action in coming years: Bipartisan Action to Secure Elections (BASE).
