Podcast appearances and mentions of tiana epps johnson

Tiana Epps-Johnson is the Executive Director of the Center for Tech and Civic Life, an organization which provides technical and financial assistance to election workers nationwide. If this sounds like it should be uncontroversial, hang on to your hats, folks. It is anything but. After her work in 2020 to help election workers conduct the presidential election under horrendously difficult COVID conditions and with inadequate budgets, Epps-Johnson found herself the subject of lawsuits, investigations by state attorneys general, and other forms of harassment. None of these have come to anything, but it's been extremely costly for the organization.She joined Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes and Lawfare Senior Editor Quinta Jurecic to tell the story. What does the Center for Tech and Civic Life really do? What was the nature of the attacks she faced? How much did it cost her organization to defend them, and how did she pay it? And what does it all mean for the future of safe elections in the United States?Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Conservative leaders have rallied behind Republican Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker, following a report that he paid for an abortion for an ex-girlfriend. It's one of the first October surprises to drop ahead of the high-stakes midterm elections.The federal government has a history of underfunding our election infrastructure, even though the people who run state and local election departments play a critical role in our democracy. Tiana Epps-Johnson, co-founder of the Center for Tech and Civic Life, tells us why America's voting system needs an upgrade.And in headlines: North Korea fired a ballistic missile over Japan for the first time in five years, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case that could chip away at the Voting Rights Act, and European regulators voted to standardize charging cables for portable devices.Show Notes:The Daily Beast: “‘Pro-Life' Herschel Walker Paid for Girlfriend's Abortion” – https://tinyurl.com/ya2m7z8aCenter for Tech and Civic Life – https://www.techandciviclife.org/Fat Bear Week 2022 – http://www.fatbearweek.org/Vote Save America: Every Last Vote – https://votesaveamerica.com/every-last-vote/Crooked Coffee is officially here.

Election infrastructure in the United States is crumbling, says technologist Tiana Epps-Johnson, and, even worse, election officials are increasingly being attacked simply for doing their jobs. How can the country rebuild trust in its local and national elections? Epps-Johnson describes how the US Alliance for Election Excellence, a nonpartisan collaborative of election officials, technologists, designers and other experts, is working across all 50 states to improve the performance of systems serving 240 million voters, ensuring everyone has access to a fair, trustworthy and modern democratic process. (This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change.)

La infraestructura electoral en Estados Unidos se está desmoronando, dice la tecnóloga Tiana Epps-Johnson y, lo que es peor, los funcionarios electorales son cada vez más atacados simplemente por hacer su trabajo. ¿Cómo puede el país recuperar la confianza en sus elecciones locales y nacionales? Epps-Johnson describe cómo la Alianza para la Excelencia Electoral de EE. UU., una colaboración no partidista de funcionarios electorales, tecnólogos, diseñadores y otros expertos, está trabajando en los 50 estados para mejorar el rendimiento de los sistemas que atienden a 240 millones de votantes, asegurando que todos tengan acceso a una audiencia justa, proceso democrático moderno y confiable. (Este ambicioso plan es parte del Proyecto Audaz, la iniciativa de TED para inspirar y financiar el cambio global).

L'infrastructure électorale des États-Unis s'effrite, explique Tiana Epps-Johnson, et, pire encore, les agents électoraux sont de plus en plus attaqués simplement pour avoir fait leur travail. Comment le pays peut-il rétablir la confiance dans ses élections locales et nationales ? Tiana Epps-Johnson décrit comment l'Alliance américaine pour l'excellence électorale, la réunion impartiale d'agents électoraux, de technologues, de concepteurs et d'autres experts, travaille dans les 50 États pour améliorer les performances des systèmes servant 240 millions d'électeurs, afin de garantir à chacun l'accès à un processus démocratique équitable, fiable et moderne.

Last year, roughly 8000 election departments across the country pulled off the near-impossible task of holding safe and secure elections in the middle of a global pandemic. They did it despite gross underfunding from Congress, crumbling infrastructure, and threats of violence. In a wealthy democracy like the United States, local election administrators shouldn't have to rely on private grant money to cover the cost of things like pens or postage for mail-in ballots, but that's exactly what happened last year. In order to find out why America's election infrastructure is so neglected, and what needs to be done to fix it, Amanda talks to Tiana Epps-Johnson, the founder and executive director of the Center for Tech and Civic Life, a national, nonpartisan org that helps local election administrators across the country modernize their processes and cover the budget gaps left by inadequate funding.

Tiana Epps-Johnson and her co-founders had an ambitious and critical goal; to simplify and modernize U.S. elections. To reach this goal, they established The Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), whose data has been accessed over 250 million times by U.S. voters through partnerships with local election committees, Google, and Facebook. On this podcast, you'll hear from Tiana, the co-founder and Executive Director of CTCL, about the organizations' humble beginnings, how its work became crucial to fight election misinformation, and how Tiana's courage for this work has been passed down through generations. Grey Interviewer: Joey Scarillo, Senior Project Manager & Podcast Producer

Tiana Epps-Johnson (Founder and ED of the Center for Tech and Civic Life) joins Brianna and Eric for a conversation about the beginnings of CTCL, its core mission, and how it met the challenges of the 2020 election cycle.

The truth of the matter is this: we don't know what state our country will be in when November rolls around--if we'll be in quarantine, if coronavirus will be back with a vengeance--we just don't know. That's why Tiana Epps-Johnson, Executive Director of the Center for Tech and Civic Life, says we need a plan that involves technology to lessen the need for people to show up in person on Election Day. Smoother processes and more options are a start, but listen to today's episode with this tech expert for more.Executive Producer: Adell ColemanProducer: Brittany TempleDistributor: DCP EntertainmentFor additional content: makeitplain.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
