Several people calling me naive for suggesting that election security might be improving.

I’ve been working on voting for over 20 years. Compared with when I started, we’ve made *phenomenal* progress. Paperless DREs are all but extinct. We’ve developed formal requirements like software independence, with practical techniques for achieving them (such as RLAs). Officials and even vendors no longer dismiss security concerns out of hand.

Still work to do, but my experience has led me to optimism.
