Towards publishable event logs that reveal touchscreen faults
Andrea L. Mascher, Paul T. Cotton, Douglas W. Jones · 2010
Federal standards require that electronic voting machines log information about the voting system behavior to support post-election audits and investigations. Our study examines interface issues commonly reported in touchscreen voting systems (miscalibration, insensitivity, etc.) and the voter interaction data that can be collected to allow investigation of these issues while at the same time preserving the right to a secret ballot. We also provide empirically derived metrics that can detect these issues by analyzing these data. 1
