Yesterday, I flagged a discussion in The Conversation about trust in elections focused on cybersecurity, where the remedy recommended was more public education.
Today, Michigan Advance has the report on a Michigan poll with a broader sweep on inputs but the same apparent bottom line.
Ryan Shandler, Anthony DeMattee, and Bruce Schneier in The Conversation, report results of a recent study showing the impact of information about cyberattacks — even cyberattacks unrelated to the election process — on trust in elections. And they’re clear-eyed about the benefits of technology (“No one misses the hanging chads of 2000”), so the remedy isn’t “less tech” but “more public education.”
