Rebecca Mercuri has been researching and writing about election technology since the late 1980’s. Her doctoral dissertation was “Electronic Vote Tabulation: Checks & Balances.”

Rebecca demonstrated that the correctness of vote tallies from anonymously cast electronic ballots is not provable.

An early and tireless advocate for the necessity of transparently tabulated Voter Verified Paper Ballots, she has spoken before the House Science Committee, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, the Election Assistance Commission, the National Institute of Standards and Technologies, the U.K. Cabinet, the Brazilian government, and numerous state legislatures.

She was recently a guest on the Personal Computer Radio Show where she discussed issues of primary concern regarding the November 2024 General Election.

Club member Brendan Kidwell has set up a Bulletin Board System (BBS) and a live chat room for the New York Amateur Computer Club.

The BBS is for discussions about everything the club might discuss in our general or special interest group meetings. Messages are arranged by topic and thread. Ask your computer questions and share your expertise and experiences here!
This is also a good place for setting up trades and selling used equipment that others might need.
This will also be used for text announcements and to help us stay in touch during the pandemic crisis.

The chat room allows us to text chat LIVE with each other as a group — whoever happens to be online in the chat room at any given moment.

BBS: https://nyacctalk.glump.net/

Chat room: https://web.libera.chat/#nyacc

Brendan will monitor and participate in both resources. If you have trouble accessing either system, please email Brendan directly at brendan@glump.net
