Please join us for Indivisible Action Coalition’s upcoming webinar on Monday, November 24 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. After a well-attended Introductory Session, November 13, our first actual training session Monday features two of the nation’s premier voting-technology experts. They will take on the myths that many election officials still repeat—myths that can dangerously distort public understanding of how modern voting systems actually work, and result in bad policies.
You’ve almost certainly heard some of these misinformed claims:
- “Voting systems can’t be hacked because they aren’t connected to the internet.”
- “Robust pre-election testing assures accurate counts.”
- “Hacks can’t be scaled and therefore can’t alter outcomes.”
- “Post-election audits will detect problems and correct the results.”
These common myths mask the true security profile of our vulnerable voting systems and can thwart necessary safeguards that are readily available.
On Monday night, Professor Andrew Appel (Princeton/Cornell) and Professor Philip Stark (UC Berkeley) will walk us through why these reassuring-sounding statements are wrong, why they persist, and what actually does make an election transparent, trustworthy, and verifiable. They will speak to the technology threats to the 2026 elections. They will also take your questions on why voting systems are not inherently secure and why trustworthy ballots and rigorous audits are essential to ensuring that outcomes reflect the will of the voters.
Register here for Monday night if you have not already done so.
If you have specific questions you would like the professors to address, feel free to send them in advance on this form. And tell us about your home county's voting method.
The session will be moderated by Susan Greenhalgh (Free Speech For People) and Marilyn Marks (Coalition for Good Governance), co-managers of the Protect the Ballot training series.
And mark your calendar for the next webinar:
“The 2020/2021 Voting System Heists and 2026 Election Risks: December 1 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT”
Sneak peak - Susan and Marilyn will take you inside the largest election-security breaches you’ve likely never heard about—and why they matter in the 2026 cycle. If you haven’t signed up for that session, you may register here.
You can also review our project goals and the November 13 introductory session here.
We hope you will join us,—and please feel free to share this invitation with others who care about protecting the 2026 elections from the escalating threats.
