Long Form: The Real Crisis of US Election Security

As part of my Web Traffic Project: TrustTheVote.org project, I’ve been posting new articles on TrustTheVote.org to increase traffic to this non-profit’s website.

I just posted my longest article yet, The Real Crisis of US Election Security, where I examine the long-standing problems with the US voting system’s security and integrity, our vulnerabilities to cyberattack, and some remedies we can pursue to preserve the integrity of our elections.

I worked hard to keep the article non-partisan, since I think that the security and integrity of our election systems is the most non-partisan issue I can imagine these days. I’d like to hear what you think! Please check out  The Real Crisis of US Election Security, or any of the other articles I’ve posted to TrustTheVote.org recently, and leave a comment if you like.

 

Web Traffic Project: Register to vote for the U.S. 2018 Midterm elections

Yesterday, in my post Web Traffic Project: TrustTheVote.org, I described my plans to increase traffic to the site I manage for the Open Source Election Technologies non-profit, TrustTheVote.org.

Last night, I finished the work on the first post in this series, Register to Vote For U.S. Midterms 2018. I also discovered that the custom theme that I inherited doesn’t handle WordPress featured images very well. I’ll have to fix that after this sprint to the election deadline. In the meantime, I just embedded the image into the post.

Since I inherited the TrustTheVote.org webmaster job by volunteering, I’m still learning about the ins and outs of the site configuration. The site already uses the somewhat obscure WP-SEO plugin. I’m still learning how to make the best use of that tool.

The plan is to promote the post on the OSET and TrustTheVote Project Twitter feeds. I’d like to see if I can revitalize the TrustTheVote Project Facebook page, as well. Right now it looks like Twitter is going to be the best source of traffic for new visitors.
