You would read a LOT of log messages. Go dig through your /var/log for
a few hours with a regex search capable text editor - you'll be
surprised what you find.  In terms of interpreting what you find, it's
frequently a combination of debugging skills, web searches, and trying
to recreate the log messages.

To add another question - How would we go about preventing the need
for someone like Jim to do what he does?   I've seen other
cryptographically validated voting systems, but what's stopping them
from being adopted?
