Roy G. Saltman

Saltman was born in Manhattan.^[2] He attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Columbia University and the American University.^[3]

Saltman was a computer security specialist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology.^[4] In 1988 he published a report on computerized voting systems, warning that the use of punched-card ballots was subject to errors due to the fact that the paper punched out (known as a "chad") might remain partly attached to the card.^[2][5] This warning was largely ignored at the time, but the problem later became a key issue in the 2000 United States presidential election recount in Florida.

Saltman died on April 21,^[5] 2023 in Rockville, Maryland, at the age of 90.^[6]
