## RLA Methods to Build
4-
- BRAVO (the Ballot-polling already on Stark's site): https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/evtwote12/evtwote12-final27.pdf
5-
- Super-Simple (the comparison part of the existing Stark website): https://www.usenix.org/legacy/events/evtwote10/tech/full_papers/Stark.pdf
6-
- CAST: https://www.stat.berkeley.edu/~stark/Preprints/cast09.pdf

- NEGEXP: https://people.csail.mit.edu/rivest/AslamPopaRivest-OnAuditingElectionsWhenPrecinctsHaveDifferentSizes.pdf
8-
- Bernoulli (We haven't published the method yet but I'll put a draft explanation together for you)
3+
A modern web app for auditing elections to help election officials use risk-limiting audits.
4+
Supports ballot-polling, ballot-comparison, canvass, and Bayesian ballot-polling audits; each supporting multiple winners/"vote for n".
5+
Also includes a sample-size demo page, comparing the risk limit of ballot-polling and ballot-comparison audits are arbitrary risk limits using _real_ election data from [openelections.net](https://openelections.net).

## Goals
11-
- Implement a modern, usable demo of each election method to communicate the intuition behind RLAs and the differences between the various methods
12-
- Proactively consume OpenElection data and compute initial samples for the audit methods above.
13-
- Implement a way to select ballots to be audited in Bernoulli audits (more on this to follow).
7+
