Jonathan Simon is the author of CODE RED: Computerized Elections and the War on American Democracy and Executive Director of Election Defense Alliance, a nonprofit organization founded in 2006 to restore observable vote counting and electoral integrity as the basis of American democracy.
As a result of his prior experience as a political survey research analyst in Washington, Dr. Simon became an early advocate for an exit poll-based electoral "burglar alarm" system, independent of media and corporate control, to detect computerized vote shifting in Election 2004. In the absence of such a system, he was nevertheless able to capture and analyze official exit poll data briefly posted on the web prior to its Election-Night disappearance, realizing as the following day dawned that he was in fact the only person in the world in possession of this critical data, which went on to serve as the initial basis for questioning the validity of the 2004 presidential election.
Dr. Simon has gone on to author, both individually and in collaboration, numerous papers and articles related to various aspects of election integrity. He has worked in cooperation with many Election Integrity organizations; appeared in several election integrity-related films, including Stealing America: Vote by Vote and Uncounted: The New Math of American Elections, and as an interviewee on dozens of live broadcasts. He tweets @JonathanSimon14 and invites all interested in corresponding to connect with him through LinkedIn or the CODE RED website www.CodeRed2018.com. Dr. Simon is a graduate of Harvard College and New York University School of Law. He is admitted to the Bar of Massachusetts.
