The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law summarizes the nation’s first systematic analysis of security
vulnerabilities in the three most commonly purchased electronic voting systems.
To develop the analysis, the Brennan Center convened a Task Force of internationally
renowned government, academic, and private-sector scientists, voting
machine experts, and security professionals.
The Task Force examined security threats to the technologies used in Direct
Recording Electronic voting systems (“DREs”), DREs with a voter verified
auditable paper trail (“DREs w/ VVPT”) and Precinct Count Optical Scan
(“PCOS”) systems. The analysis assumes that appropriate physical security and
accounting procedures are in place.
