Bradley Tusk

I put in my address, fine.

Next thing is multifactor authentication.

So you know how, like, when you forget your Google password, they send you a code and you put it back into the app?

Same thing here.

Then we take a scan of your face, match that up against your government ID, and at this point, we've fully established, OK, Bradley is really Bradley.

Ballot pops up on my screen, and the ballot itself is simple and easy to use, and I go through it, I take my time, no rush.

Whenever I'm ready, I hit submit.

And when I hit submit, three things happen.

First, my ballot is encrypted.

Second, it's anonymized.

Third, I get a tracking code, like if it were a FedEx package, so I can track the progress of my ballot all the way through the process.

then it goes back to the New York City Board of Elections and they air gap it, which means they take it offline.

And once my ballot is no longer connected to the internet, then they decrypt it, a paper copy is printed out, that gets mixed in with all of the other ballots.

I know where my ballot stands because I can see from the tracking code that it was received, tabulated, printed and so on.

And the underlying code itself is open source, which means that anyone can audit it,

Anyone can verify it, it's totally transparent.

To me, that's a lot more secure than the way we vote right now.

And we've already built it, we've already paid for it, and we're giving it away to anyone who wants to use it for free.

And with a little more work, I think we could do even more.

We could register people to vote on the app.
