Trump is President ... with a little help from Putin. The Russian Government carried out an extensive campaign to influence the US Presidential Election. This included infiltrating the systems of political parties and election management bodies. These activities raised questions about whether Russia may have compromised e-voting systems to rig the election, and reignited debate on the trustworthiness of election technology.



In this talk I'll give a rundown of what happened in the US and the problems with their e-voting systems, as well as Internet voting and other election technology used in Australia. I'll also discuss concerns over privacy, integrity, transparency and trust.
