Audits of Paper Records to Verify Electronic Voting Machine Tabulated Results
نویسنده
چکیده
In February 2015, I filed a lawsuit requesting access to voting-machine records. In February 2016, a motion by the plaintiff to deny me access to those records was successful. In short, even though voters in Sedgwick County, Kansas, use voting machines with a paper trail, that paper trail is not public and no one is allowed to look at those records, even at their own expense. Not for a recount. Not to verify the accuracy of the reported results.

The Role of Dice in Election Audits – Extended Abstract
Random audits are a powerful technique for statistically verifying that an election was tabulated correctly. Audits are especially useful for checking the correctness of electronic voting machines when used in conjunction with a voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT). While laws in many states already require election audits, they generally do not address the procedure for generating the rand...

متن کاملEvery Vote Counts: Ensuring Integrity in Large-Scale Electronic Voting
This paper presents a new End-to-End (E2E) verifiable e-voting protocol for large-scale elections, called Direct Recording Electronic with Integrity (DRE-i). In contrast to all other E2E verifiable voting schemes, ours does not involve any Tallying Authorities (TAs). The design of DRE-i is based on the hypothesis that existing E2E voting protocols’ universal dependence on TAs is a key obstacle ...
متن کاملDouble voter perceptible blind signature based electronic voting protocol
Mu et al. have proposed an electronic voting protocol and claimed that it protects anonymity of voters, detects double voting and authenticates eligible voters. It has been shown that it does not protect voter's privacy and prevent double voting. After that, several schemes have been presented to fulfill these properties. However, many of them suffer from the same weaknesses. In this p...
متن کاملCOMPUTING SCIENCE Every Vote Counts: Ensuring Integrity in Large-Scale DRE-based Electronic Voting
This paper presents a new electronic voting system, called Direct Recording Electronic with Integrity (DRE-i). The DRE is a widely deployed voting system that commonly uses touch-screen technology to directly record votes. However, a lack of tallying integrity is widely considered the most contentious problem with the DRE system. In this work, we take a broad interpretation of the DRE: which in...
