World wide, there are various proposals for automating manual voting processes. This paper considers two different e-voting schemes, Internet voting and direct recording electronic (DRE) voting systems, explicitly focusing on risk to the integrity of the voting process. Fair elections must assure voter authentication, vote confidentiality and integrity, and the ability to audit the election. E-...

Plurality voting is widely used in pattern recognition practice. However, there is little theoretical analysis of plurality voting. In this paper, we attempt to explore the rationales behind plurality voting. The recognition/error/rejection rates of plurality voting are compared with those of majority voting under different conditions. It is demonstrated that plurality voting is more efficient ...

Sum& Conclusions Voting is important in the realization of ultrareliable systems based on the multi-channel computation paradigm. In an earlier paper (1991 Aug) I dealt with voting networks, viz, hardware implementation of certain voting schemes. A voting algorithm specifies how the voting result is obtained from the input data and can be the basis for implementing a hardware voting network or ...

Abstract We propose a new single-winner voting system using ranked ballots: Stable Voting. The motivating principle of Voting is that if candidate A would win without another B in the election, and beats head-to-head majority comparison, then should still election with included (unless there $$A'$$ A ′...

A blind classification algorithm is presented that uses hyperdimensional geometric algorithms to locate a hypothesis, in the form of a convex polytope or hyper-sphere. The convex polytope geometric model provides a well-fitted class representation that does not require training with instances of opposing classes. Further, the classification algorithm creates models for as many training classes ...

This paper proposes and describes a novel technique for organic shapes classification by similarity to basic geometric shapes. The amber data used in experiments are collected by amber art craft industry experts and the presented investigations were care out in order to develop a classifier for online amber sorting application. The centroid distance function was selected for shape representatio...

In this paper, we examine the attitudes of voters regarding the voting experience in the 2009 gubernatorial elections in New Jersey and Virginia. We focus especially on the way in which voting technology experiences that voters have had affect their confidence in the voting process, their attitudes toward fraud and reform, and other aspects of the voting process. We find that voters are sensiti...
