DESCRIPTION:After the 2000 election with the problem of “hanging chads”
  Dr Barney worked with colleagues to apply their expertise in document ana
 lysis to evaluate and expand the underlying technology needed to automatic
 ally read printed ballots in a multi-university research project funded by
  the NSF. The 2000 election led to the Help America Vote Act\, which resul
 ted in an almost universal conversion to paper ballots in the US. Still\, 
 the 2008 US Senate race in Minnesota race\, and again in the 2020 presiden
 tial race reading of paper ballots is in the news. This talk will look at 
 some of the issues with reading and counting ballots\, both automatically 
 and manually.\n\nBoise\, Idaho\, United States\, Virtual: https://events.v
