A quantiative approach will be used to conduct to this research. First, a pilot study the survey, consisting of 100-200 respondents, will be conducted to validate the survey to ensure it is an effective survey. After the survey has been validated, a full study of 390-1900 respondents will be conducted. The large range accounts for factors to include confidence interval, margin of error, and the funding required to get the responses. By conducting this study, it allows us to learn about the perceptions of eligible voters in the United States on the current systems to determine if the current systems are adequate or if new policies and systems need to be implemented based on perceptions. We also hope to identify if the decrease in voter perception of security leads to less trust in the overall system.
