متن کاملResidual Votes Attributable to Technology
We examine the relative performance of voting technologies by studying presidential, gubernatorial, and senatorial election returns across hundreds of counties in the United States from 1988 to 2000. Relying on a fixed effects regression applied to an unbalanced panel of counties, we find that in presidential elections, traditional paper ballots produce the lowest rates of uncounted votes (i.e....
متن کاملNow Do Voters Notice Review Screen Anomalies? A Look at Voting System Usability
Everett (2007) showed that about two thirds of voters do not notice when the review screen on an electronic voting machine does not agree with the selections they intended. However, the instructions given to voters in those experiments did not emphasize the need for veriBication and the design of the review screen did little to aid voters in detecting anomalies. This research follows up that...
متن کاملA Comparison of Usability Between Voting Methods
In order to know if new electronic voting systems truly represent a gain in usability, it is necessary to have information about the usability of more traditional voting methods. The usability of three different voting methods was evaluated using the metrics recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology: efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction. Participants voted with tw...
