Mon, Oct 12 @6:30PM - Voting By Mail

On Monday, October 12 at 6:30 PM, we will hold an online-only club meeting.  Our speaker will be Ivan Milman on voting by mail.

 

Disinformation abounds about the security and validity of voting by mail. As noted in a presentation on September 28th, much of this disinformation is designed to undermine credibility in the results of the upcoming US election. In this presentation, we will attempt to sort fact from fiction regarding voting by mail. We will start by defining voting by mail and how it operates (including relationship to absentee voting). Then we look at the current state of voting by mail in the US, historical information regarding the miniscule number of cases of known vote-by-mail fraud and look at actual risks and countermeasures. We will talk specifically about voting by mail in Texas.

SET UP

 

Web Meetings (or web conferences) differ from watching videos on line (YouTube, Facebook Live, Netflix, etc.) because our club members can interact and participate in the meeting. Thru the use of your camera and microphone on your desktop or smart device, people in the web meeting can see you (if you allow) via the camera on your desktop or smart device, and you can speak up in the meeting via the microphone on your desktop or smart device.

 

Our meetings will be conducted with Zoom. Zoom is free, and runs on desktops, laptops, tablets and smart phones. You can also dial in on an old school phone or cell phone if you just want to listen in on the meeting (and talk.)
