5/ Matt Blaze (Professor of Computer Information Science, Univ. Pennsylvania): “Optical scan paper ballots coupled with risk limited audits represent the state of the art in voting system security, an approach already in successful use in several states."
6/ @jhalderm: “Paper ballots & risk-limiting audits are the only practical way to guarantee that election results can't be changed in a cyberattack. Senator Wyden's bill will ... ensur[e] that these low-cost, common-sense measures are in place for all federal elections.”
7/ @ronrivest: Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: “The requirements for paper ballots and for risk-limiting audits will provide for definite improvements in security for many states."
