< h2 align = "center" > HOW TO VERIFY THE RESULTS< / h2 >
< h3 > Obtaining all the files< / h3 >
< p >
To run the vote counting scripts, you need several files:
< ul >
< li > the votes archives for < a href = "http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vote/2002-November.txt.gz" > November< / a > and < a href = "http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vote/2002-December.txt.gz" > December< / a > < / li >
< li > the list of < a href = "./registered-voters.txt" > registered voters< / a > < / li >
< li > the script to < a href = "./list-addresses.py" > generate the addresses of the voters< / a > < / li >
< li > the script to < a href = "./vote-counter.py" > count the votes< / a > < / li >
< li > the < a href = "vote-archives.diff" > diff file< / a > that we applied to the vote archives< / li >
< / ul >
Please note that you need python to run the scripts.
< / p >
< h3 > Running the scripts< / h3 >
< p >
Here are the steps to obtain the results:
< pre > $ gunzip 2002-November.txt.gz 2002-December.txt.gz< / pre >
< pre > $ cat 2002-November.txt 2002-December.txt > vote-archives.txt< / pre >
< pre > $ python list-addresses.py registered-voters.txt > addresses.txt< / pre >
< pre > $ python vote-counter.py vote-archives.txt dontforgettovote addresses.txt > results.txt< / pre >
< / p >
< p >
The results should be in results.txt. A list of errors will be
generated at the top of the output, but note that many of those errors
will represent problems which are fixed later in the archive
(manifested by the voter having a counted ballot later in the
results). The final tallies will be at the bottom.
< / p >
< p >
If you want to replicate the posted results, you have to apply the diff
file before running the scripts:
< pre > $ diff -p0 < vote-archives.diff< / pre >
< / p >
