| Publisher Description: Since the 2000 election, American politics has been obsessed with the question of fraud in, and accuracy, of election results. The 36 days of controversy in Florida in the 2000 election - with changing results, ballot problems, ballot counting discrepancies, and the issues with the chain of custody of ballots - illustrated to the public the challenges that can occur in elections. This book shows how, by applying simple concepts used in auditing, elections in the U.S. and internationally can be made more transparent, more accurate, and better managed. The techniques are presented in easy to understand chapters that can be applied in elections today. |
