Resolving the Unexpected in Elections: Election Officials’
Options
-- Co-authored by 4 premier computer scientists, including one who
co-led the California voting system study, and 2 national security
computer scientists. Several had worked directly with election
officials in live elections +/or as technical consultants to a
Secretary of State.
-- Provides an introduction to the technical incidents that the
voting systems can sustain, and their indicators (that some might
ignore as inconsequential).
-- Attempts to educate, and empower election officials (and their
lawyers) to deal with finicky voting systems to produce accurate,
reliable results even in contentious election contexts.
-- The ABA posted it on its election information homepage during the
2008 cycle, and some Sections distributed it to their members.
--> Includes an Appendix to all the major scientific studies of
voting systems that had been conducted by 2008, with links. These
often include Executive Summaries written for the non-technically
trained reader.
Almost all voting systems currently deployed in elections were
subjects of published scientific studies gathered in the Appendix.
The vast proportion of voting systems used today have not been
certified by the EAC under the federal voting system guidelines
required by HAVA.
