A description of the general EIP Philosophy
- The guiding principles behind the Election Integrity Protocol
- Every election passes through 4 gated stages before it is consummated
- Here we describe those stages and how the election transitions between them
It's All about the BAM
- The Ballot Audit Mark (BAM, aka Vote Tracking Numbers) is at the heart of EIP
- BAMs provide vote transparency, tracking, remedy and also help to detect & prevent fraud
It's the Results, Stupid!
- Machines don't matter
- Focus on the results, not how they were obtained
