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…
-Cut: A Simple Approximately-Uniform Method for Sampling Ballots in Post-Election Audits
Mayuri Sridhar, Ronald L. Rivest
We present an approximate sampling framework and discuss how risk-limiting audits can compensate for these approximations, while maintaining their "risk-limiting" properties. Our f…
Bernoulli Ballot Polling: A Manifest Improvement for Risk-Limiting Audits
Kellie Ottoboni, Matthew Bernhard, J. Alex Halderman +2
We present a method and software for ballot-polling risk-limiting audits (RLAs) based on Bernoulli sampling: ballots are included in the sample with probability , independently.…
Consistent Sampling with Replacement
Ronald L. Rivest
We describe a very simple method for `consistent sampling' that allows for sampling with replacement. The method extends previous approaches to consistent sampling, which assign a…
