Podcast Episode 73. Yes, Your Vote is Secure with David Levine

This episode is Dirty Moderate’s official response to election deniers. We understand a certain group of Americans cannot accept truth, reality, science, etc…but here is some anyway. You know, for the hell of it. Call us dirty moderates. America’s 2022 midterm elections are likely to bring a wave of election deniers into Congress and top state-level jobs overseeing elections in all corners of the country and that’s a huge problem, folks. This episodes guest, David Levine, is the Elections Integrity Fellow at the Alliance for Securing Democracy, where he assesses vulnerabilities in electoral infrastructure, administration, and policies. David’s research interests and recent publications focus on election access, trust and security, and the nexus between external threats from malign actors and the challenges many democracies face in conducting free and fair elections. David’s work has been published and quoted in USA Today, New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Bloomberg Technology, The Hill, Business Insider, MIT Technology Review, BBC, EU Observer, and others.
