The expert panel includes: - Dr. Andrew Appel, Eugene Higgins Professor of Computer Science, Department of Computer Science, Princeton University - Dr. Doug Jones, Associate Professor Emeritus, The University of Iowa, Department of Computer Science - Dr. Philip Stark, the creator of the risk limiting audit, Distinguished Professor of Statistics, University of California, Berkeley The latter two will be present in person to shed light on this crucial matter.

Colonel Conrad Reynolds, CEO of AVII, commented on the upcoming event, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.

"In Arkansas, the machines that tally our votes overlook the text that can be verified by humans, focusing solely on barcodes. Unfortunately, as voters, we can't confirm if the barcode truly represents our choice. From a national security perspective, this is a massive vulnerability that could be easily exploited." Reynolds further remarked on the caliber of the experts, stating, "We're honored to host some of the most sought-after election security professionals. These are the very individuals who have testified before Congress and other national assemblies regarding this topic."
