Every year, interns from academic institutions around the world apply and grow their knowledge as members of the research community at Microsoft. In this Microsoft Research Podcast series, these students join their internship supervisors to share their experience working alongside some of the leading researchers in their respective fields.In this episode, PhD students Anunay Kulshrestha and Karan Newatia talk to Senior Cryptographer Josh Benaloh about their work this summer on ElectionGuard, a free, open-source toolkit that enables voters to verify that their votes have been accurately counted. Kulshrestha and Newatia discuss their contributions to extending ElectionGuard to mail-in voting and rank-choice voting, respectively; what is needed for widespread adoption of the verifiable election technology; and why they'd recommend a Microsoft internship to other students.(Editor's note: After its design and development by Microsoft, ElectionGuard is now part of the newly formed nonprofit Election Technology Initiative, which will join with Microsoft to further ElectionGuard's growth and help advance its adoption.)Learn moreElectionGuard | Project pageThe next frontier in elections: Microsoft supports the Council of State Governments' Election Technology Initiative | Microsoft On the Issues blog, July 2023Security and Cryptography | Group page

Transparency is critical when it comes to trust - and right now, particularly in the United States, we're having some real issues with trust in our elections. Most of our election systems today are completely opaque in terms of their hardware and software design because they're made by private companies who want to protect their intellectual property. But this secrecy also seriously impedes independent third parties from being able to test and verify these devices that are crucial to our democracy, and therefore contributes to the distrust in our election outcomes. Microsoft is working to change this with a program called ElectionGuard - a free and open source software framework that would allow any company (existing or new) to create robust and secure election systems. Not only can security researchers, journalists and democracy activists review and test the code, but the system actually provides technical capabilities that would allow voters and watchdog groups with a secure and private method for verifying that all votes were counted correctly. And that's just part of what Microsoft is doing to defend democratic processes as part of their Democracy Forward program. Ethan Chumley is a Senior Security Strategist for Microsoft's Democracy Forward Program, leading the team's Critical Institution cybersecurity programs. He works at the intersection of cybersecurity, policy, and technology in support of open and secure elections by working with political campaigns, elections organizations, think tanks, NGOs, disinformation researchers, and tech industry partners.

Hart InterCivic will be the first private vendor to partner with the company on using its open-source ElectionGuard system.

In this episode, I'm excited to be speaking with Dr. Josh Benaloh, Senior Principal Cryptographer at Microsoft Research. If you have ever wondered why we still don’t hold our elections online, how we can combat interference in our elections, or how advanced cryptography can be used to create an end-to-end verifiable election systems, this is the episode for you! Josh walks us through why Microsoft has been working with governments, NGOs, academics and industry on the Defending Democracy Program. Within this program Josh focuses on ElectionGuard, a Microsoft developed, open source SDK that uses encryption to dramatically improve election integrity today and perhaps move us toward wide-scale online voting in the future. We’ll also explore the fascinating history of elections, the trade-offs among privacy, and why blockchain may not be the best fit for election systems.

Jason Mangum and Mark Anderson discuss the Globalist Agenda and Hi-Tech Connection. The Bilderberg Group and The Trilateral Commission along with other Elite Organizations are weaponizing hi-tech, social media and other technology corporations. It appears that major hi-tech and social media companies are engaging in Antitrust Laws, which is making it impossible for competitors to have any market share or influence. This is all part of the globalist playbook. In 2016 the major threats against the U.S. Democracy during the Elections were the Mainstream Media and Federal Agencies, such as the FBI and DOJ, but now the Globalist have added a new major player, which is Hi-Tech. They plan to influence the 2020 Election using technology. Companies like Microsoft's NewsGuard and ElectionGuard are being deployed to filter news and news sources, as well as influence the elections. Other companies such as Google, Apple, FaceBook, YouTube and Twitter are also actively filtering, banning, blocking and removing Alternative News Sources, Conservatives and Christians from their platforms. The war against democracy and the threat against this nation, it's citizens and the elections has just gone to a whole new level utilizing Hi-Tech.

Amy Klocuchar (MN): For the last two years, Senator Lankford and I, on a bipartisan bill with support from the ranking and the head of the intelligence committee; have been trying to get the Secure Elections Act passed. This would require backup paper ballots. If anyone gets federal funding for an election, it would require audits, um, and it would require better cooperation. Yet the White House, just as we were on the verge of getting a markup in the rules committee (getting it to the floor where I think we would get the vast majority of senators), the White House made calls to stop this. Were you aware of that? Attorney General William Barr: No. Sen. Amy Klocuchar (MN): Okay, well that happened. So what I would like to know from you as our nation’s chief law enforcement officer if you will work with Senator Lankford and I to get this bill done? Because otherwise we are not going to have any clout to get backup paper ballots if something goes wrong in this election. Attorney General William Barr: Well, I will… I will work with you, uh, to, uh, enhance the security of our election and I’ll take a look at what you’re proposing. I’m not familiar with it. Sen. Amy Klocuchar (MN): Okay. Well, it is the bipartisan bill. It has Senator Burr and Senator Warner. It’s support from Senator Graham was on the bill. Senator Harris is on the bill and the leads are Senator Lankford and myself, and it had significant support in the house as well. Hearing: Committee on Oversight and Reform:Strengthening Ethics Rules for the Executive Branch, February 6, 2019 Watch on Youtube *28:00 Rep Jordan (OH): 2013 we learned that the IRS targeted conservative for their political beliefs during the 2012 election cycle systematically for a sustained period of time. They went after people for their conservative beliefs, plan in place, targeted people. They did it.
