Conservative Statistical Post-Election Audits
There are many sources of error in counting votes: the apparent winner might not be the rightful winner. Hand tallies of the votes in a random sample of precincts can be used to test the hypothesis that a full manual recount would find a different outcome. This paper develops a conservative sequential test based on the vote-counting errors found in a hand tally of a simple or stratified random ...
متن کاملPre-electoral Coalitions and Post-election Bargaining1
We study a game-theoretic model where political parties can form coalitions both before and after the elections. Before election, coalitions can commit to a seat-sharing arrangement, but not to a policy or to a division of rents from o¢ ce; coalition members are free to break up and join other coalitions after the election. Equilibrium pre-electoral coalitions are not necessarily made up of the...
متن کاملPre - electoral Coalitions and Post - election Bargaining ∗
We study a game-theoretic model where three political parties (left, median and right) can form coalitions both before and after the election. Before the election, coalitions can commit to a seat-sharing arrangement, but not to a policy platform or a division of rents from office; coalition members are free to break up and join other coalitions after the election. Equilibrium pre-electoral coal...
متن کاملPre-Election Testing and Post-Election Audit of Optical Scan Voting Terminal Memory Cards
Optical scan electronic voting machines employ software components that are customized for each specific election. Such software components are critical from a security and integrity point of view, as they define ballot layout and outcome reporting facilities. The possibility of these components to be tampered with presents a major concern as incorrect election results may be produced due to ei...
متن کاملDiffSum - A Simple Post-Election Risk-Limiting Audit
DiffSum is approximately as efficient as Bravo— compare (3) with the estimate 2 ln(1/α)/m for Bravo [2] (here α is the risk limit). Moreover,DiffSum does not need an initial estimate of the vote shares, and Bravo is inefficient when this estimate is inaccurate. Error rate: The error rate bounds given in Step 1 are based on extensive simulations for δ = 0 to 4, d = 3 to 7, n = 10, and c = d+δ. W...
