His research and publications focus on the trust and integrity of the election process, and the external threats posed by malign actors.In today's conversation with David we talk about how to get to a place where voters believe in elections and their outcomes requires a comprehensive approach. We use a five Ps model to think about the election ecosystem, and at each point in that ecosystem, there are challenges and opportunities to improve election security. The five Ps are people, process, platform, policy, and politics.
