Simple Ways to do Risk Limiting Auditing

I’m at the Election Verification Network Conference being held in my home town of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

We’ve heard some great talks on ballot security, usability, Internet voting , election auditing, etc.

I’d like to highlight a talk by Philip Stark on a fairly simple process that states could employ to do a risk limiting post election audit. I’ve provided links below to his slides and papers on this topic.

Today’s slides are here:
