Abstract:
|
Voter confidence and transparent elections are essential to modern democracies. States are legislating precinct-level, sample-based audits. New Jersey just passed legislation requiring elections be audited to achieve particular power levels to detect election altering miscounts, and Florida is working on legislation modeled after New Jersey. A statistical foundation in the development of election auditing procedures aids transparency and improves voter confidence in election results and the democratic process in both the United States and abroad. Come share ideas concerning statistical methodology in the election process. Statistical issues may include random recounts in all elections, 100% recounts in close elections, paper trails, Six Sigma applications, process control, exit polling, and more.
