This chapter has moved

The technical manual’s case-study material now lives in the site’s Case Studies section, where each case is a fully sourced standalone study.

Useful starting points:

• Case Study Methodology — how cases are selected, the epistemological posture, and the three-layer taxonomy.
• Taxonomy of Vote Reporting Vulnerabilities — the structural map of how vote reporting breaks down, with worked examples.
• Conclusion: From Evidence to Participation — what the cases add up to.
• Our Analyses — AC’s own published Actual Vote analyses.

For the manual’s brief overview of failure modes, see Section 2.4 (Vulnerability Points in Vote Reporting); the full, sourced treatment is the Taxonomy of Vote Reporting Vulnerabilities in this section. To return to the manual, see the Technical Manual overview.
