July 11, 2017 — The investigation of the 2014 Stoughton referendum miscount that I, Julie Crego, and Sue Trace did in 2015, in collaboration with Stoughton Municipal Clerk Lana Kropf, was recognized as “helpful” by the Civic Design Project, a joint effort of the User Experience Professionals Association and the Center for Civic Design.
They recommended a post from this blog to civic design professionals working in elections as “useful” because it “discusses the causes of incorrectly counted votes by paper ballot scanner and provides suggestions for proper ballot design and election day procedures to help prevent miscount errors.”
