Great stuff in this week's @electionline Weekly from our friends and colleagues at @TurnoutRocks on their work with @ElectionCenter2 related to efforts to strengthen and support state associations of local election officials!

[R. Michael Alvarez @rmichaelalvarez]

Call for papers! The Caltech 2024 Election Integrity Project is organizing a conference on Information and Misinformation in Elections. It'll be January 16-17 on the @Caltech campus (so the weather will be great). If you are doing research on election information and misinformation, and want to participate, see the call and send a proposal!

Happy Labor Day! We're pleased to welcome James Houghton, PhD to our team as our new Operations Research Scientist! Read more about James' expertise here https://t.co/Z0f25jGoMk

X-ray vision for home inspections would be great! Until that happens in the real world, @Dziurlaj explains via architectural metaphor how RABET-V looks at software components' reliability, modularity, isolation, and depth to score product quality https://t.co/BPiPv5psWr

Great final panel today at #ESRA2024 on the EAVS Section B (ESB) Data Standard for UOCAVA data. Big props to @jungshadow of @TurnoutRocks & @CMHockenberry of @CSGovts_OVI (collab b/t @FVAP & @CSGovts) for heading this up and involving the awesome @hilary_rudy & @iamstuartholmes!

[The Turnout @TurnoutRocks]

We've been working with @CSGovts_OVI since 2015 to help military and overseas voters through CSG's cooperative agreement with @FVAP. With a working group of election officials, we've developed data standards and policy recommendations. Read more here https://t.co/nFLf9GL9ZP

Our friends, @ZachZarnow and @dehirsch1, at @StateCourts created a lyrical story (with AI-generated images) about the perils of the overabundance of information and describes how courts can help lead people through the "Sea of Junk" https://t.co/9graOc421a

Great read from @jungshadow at @TurnoutRocks on their RABET-V work for @CISecurity if you missed this a few weeks ago:

[The Turnout @TurnoutRocks]

Non-voting election systems need a new and adaptive kind of testing. RABET-V is the answer. Read more about @CISecurity's operational program here in our latest article from @jungshadow: https://t.co/A22RQJRhux

[The Turnout @TurnoutRocks]

At @TurnoutRocks, we've been developing & advancing the use of Common Data Formats (CDFs) in election technology. Our own @Dziurlaj is at the forefront of this & presented to @EACgov TGDC about our work with @NIST on voting system interoperability & CDFs https://t.co/gtPb0Njm8z

[The Turnout @TurnoutRocks]

Easing election officials' burdens requires well-defined standards. No one knows more about them than @Dziurlaj. Read his thread on our work with @NIST on common formats, testing, and what's to come.

[John Dziurłaj @Dziurlaj]

Last week I had the pleasure of presenting to the @EACgov Technical Guidelines Development Committee about the latest @NIST developments in voting system Interoperability. Here are the highlights 🧵

@MITelectionlab has published a series of white papers detailing the state of the field in 7 areas of election administration. The goal is to identify best practices and holes in the literature that would lead to better elections. Check it out: https://t.co/WlS5nppmcQ

[Marc Meredith @mieuque]

It was great writing the voter registration report with the fabulous team of @sysilviakim, @MichaelLMorse, and @pettigrew_stats with help with @jongr1, @stark_talk, and Katie Steele from @PennPORES. Long story short, so much research on voter registration is needed.

[Jared Marcotte @jungshadow]

It was great to see the future of voting in College Park tonight. Hats off to the entire team that made this possible @HartInterCivic, @EnhancedVoting, @civicdesign, @CollegePark_MD, @TurnoutRocks, @CSGovts, and @MSFTResearch to name a few.
