Hi Dave,

only [one of many][2] very interesting events at the conference... but

## Plenary: Electronic Voting: The Great Paper Trail Debate

(23 April (Friday), 3:15 - 4:30 pm. Empire Ballroom.)

If your next vote is cast on a touch screen voting machine, how will
you know that it was counted correctly? Many computer scientists and
public interest groups argue that voter verified paper ballots are a
necessary check for the integrity of our elections. Opponents of voter
verified paper ballots counter that they unnecessarily complicate the
voting process, add needless expenses, and make providing access for
the disabled more difficult, without really improving the integrity of
elections.

Moderator:  Lorrie Faith Cranor, Associate Research Professor,
Carnegie Mellon University;

Panelists:

* David Wagner, Assistant Professor, University of California,
  Berkeley;
* Douglas A. Kellner, Commissioner, New York City Board of Elections;
* Kim Alexander, California Voter Foundation;
* Michael I. Shamos, Distinguished Career Professor, Carnegie Mellon
