November 23, 2016

In the last few days, we’ve been getting several questions that are variations on: Should there be recounts in Michigan in order to make sure that the election results are accurate?

March 1, 2014

Alaska’s extension to its iVoting venture may have raised the interests of at least one journalist for one highly visible publication. When we were asked for our “take” on this form of iVoting, we thought that we should also comment here on this “northern exposed adventure.” (apologies to those fans of the mid-90s wacky TV … Continued

February 7, 2013

An esteemed colleague noted the news of the USPS stopping weekend delivery, as part of a trend of slow demise of the USPS, and asked: will we get to the point where vote-by-mail is vote-by-Fedex?

Gentle Readers: This is a long article/posting. Under any other circumstance it would be just too long.

July 13, 2010

We’ve been answering lots of questions about the OSDV Foundation’s role in the District of Columbia’s Pilot “digital vote-by-mail” project, including a recent post with a detailed account of the history leading up to the Pilot.
