Post-Election Manual Auditing of Paper Records Bibliography (ordered by date)
In order to make sense of all the post-election auditing proposals currently out there, I've created a bibliography of all the post-election audit work that I know of. Please let me know if I've left anything out; my intention is to include everything out there. (I will update my bibliography and this post as changes are made.)
(The current version of this document in PDF form is available here: http://josephhall.org/papers/auditing_biblio.pdf.)
