How do you sample a counter with the total vote cast for a candidate?
"Jose" wrote in message m... You count a sample of 20 paper receipts and Al is ahead 15 to 5. Other than Al won the sample, you have learned absolutely nothing about the correctness of the total vote. Right. Then you compare the paper sample to the electronic sample and find that Al is ahead 12-8 in the electronic sample. You now know, which you didn't before, that the voting is rigged (or busted). Had the tallys matched, you would have more confidence than before that the voting was fairly counted electronically, and could trust the other electronic tallys. Jose -- You can choose whom to befriend, but you cannot choose whom to love. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
