This page allows voters in the Takoma Park, Maryland 2009 election to check their confirmation codes, inspect the results of the complete audit logs, and even download and run the Java audit source code.

The code can hopefully also be used to audit future Scantegrity elections and serve as a reference implementation for other auditors.

Audit

Final audit

To verify elections (post election audit):
1. dowload election's data from official webpage or from its mirror
2. dowload ElectionAuditor
3. because of the sizes of xml files parsed, one has to increase default memory limits for the jar (2GB of RAM is needed):
      java -jar -Xms2000m -Xmx2000m -Xss2000m preAudit.jar pathToFiles
where pathToFiles is a name of the folder where election data is stored on your hardrive e.g.
   java -jar -Xms2000m -Xmx2000m -Xss2000m preElectionAuditor.jar "takoma-nov3-2009/PUBLIC/PUBLIC/ward6/" post
