Rebecca MercuriRebecca Mercuri is among the foremost experts on electronic voting. She has been interested in electronic voting since 1989. She is presently a Fellow at Harvard University's Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study where her research focuses on transparency and trust issues in computational systems. She is well known for having popularized the idea of using voter-verified paper ballots (often referred to as the "Mercuri Method"), whereby an electronic voting machine prints a paper ballot for the voter to verify and deposit in order to cast their vote. Mercuri put up a web site when she noticed the 2000 Presidential election falling into confusion, and within 15 minutes had a call from the Associated Press - who had found her materials. She submitted testimony in Bush v. Gore that was subsequently referenced in the briefs to the U.S. Supreme Court, and has since testified before the U.S. House Science Committee, the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, the U.K. Cabinet, and numerous other federal and state legislative bodies about voting systems.
