Message From the Chair
Is computer science relevant? Candice Hoke, Director of the Center for Election Integrity and Professor of Law at
the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law says, "Definitely!"
She sees computer science as the means to access, accuracy, and accountability for federal elections. She sees the open source digital voting project as the path to achieve these three A's for federal elections. She bases these conclusions on her work with top computer scientists on election systems where her role is the bridge between computer scientists and policy makers.
Yes, computer science is relevant!
