PART 1: ELECTION RISK
The electoral process has many points of vulnerability. What risks are inherent in specific voting methods? And how did foreign interference impact on the 2016 election? http://predictive.cityabc.xyz/theartofvoting/

For over 20 years, Harvie Branscomb (http://www.electionquality.com) has acted as an independent monitor of US elections, analysing various voting methods* and developing recommendations for accessible, fair, secure and transparent process. In this interview, Harvie discusses manual, mechanical, and electronic voting methods and their vulnerabilities; the balance between anonymity, privacy, and transparency; and the critical issue of ballot auditing. 

*Here, ‘voting system’ or ‘voting method’ generally refers to the technological infrastructure for registering ballots, and not a system for ranking candidates (such as plurality or proportional representation).
