Michelle Blom, Peter J. Stuckey, Vanessa Teague +1
Risk-limiting audits (RLAs) are an increasingly important method for checking that the reported outcome of an election is, in fact, correct. Indeed, their use is increasingly being…
Assertion-Based Approaches to Auditing Complex Elections, with Application to Party-List Proportional Elections
Michelle Blom, Jurlind Budurushi, Ronald L. Rivest +4
Risk-limiting audits (RLAs), an ingredient in evidence-based elections, are increasingly common. They are a rigorous statistical means of ensuring that electoral results are correc…
