Implementing Risk-Limiting Audits in California
Risk-limiting post-election audits limit the chance of certifying an electoral outcome if the outcome is not what a full hand count would show.

This package allows access to many powerful Python modules, providing support for such things as symbolic mathematics, plotting, arbitrary precision numerical calculations, and networking. Python’s intuitive syntax, popularity, and extensibility along with TEX’s formatt...
متن کاملRisk-limiting Audits for Nonplurality Elections
Many organizations have turned to alternative voting systems such as instant-runoff voting for determining the outcome of single-winner elections. It is our position in this paper that the increasing deployment of such alternative systems necessitate the study and development of risklimiting audits for these systems. We initiate this study. We examine several commonly used single-winner voting ...
متن کاملAutomatic Margin Computation for Risk-Limiting Audits
A risk-limiting audit is a statistical method to create confidence in the correctness of an election result by checking samples of paper ballots. In order to perform an audit, one usually needs to know what the election margin is, i.e., the number of votes that would need to be changed in order to change the election outcome. In this paper, we present a fully automatic method for computing elec...

Risk-limiting post-election audits guarantee a high probability of correcting incorrect electoral outcomes, regardless of why the outcomes are incorrect. Two types of risk-limiting post-election vote tabulation audits are comparison audits and ballot-polling audits. Comparison audits check some of the subtotals reported by the vote tabulation system, by hand-counting votes on the corresponding ...
