STYLE-->

A new paper reviews the types of voting equipment technical events that merit a closer look, and how to proceed.

The authors have expertise in computer engineering, security and forensics, voting technology evaluations, and election administrative processes. The goal of this paper is to assist election officials and their counsel in making sound judgments about when a deeper (forensic) examination by independent experts may be needed to protect an election's accuracy and prevent recurrence of technical problems.  The authors invite critical, constructive commentary for a revised edition.
