Why 100% audit count and TLV is essential
I just saw this body of research analysis on the 2004 Presidential Election.
When you run through all this analysis and numbers it is apparent that while this is impressive mathematical work - the real answer is to provide for 100% secure and reliable totalling and counting.
Since the Trusted Logic Voting process retains three separate counts - it removes the guess work.
With the computer technology we have available today - this should not even be an issue - its straightforward to implement - and TLV is clearly the gold standard that should be required to avoid all future such questions hanging over elections.
