I hope Spaceship One is first, but I hope the Canadian effort is successful too. Best of luck to whomever wins. Here's hoping both make it into space and back in one piece with lots of smiles and cheers on landing.
I think this country is not ready for electronic voting in any form, regardless of a 'paper receipt'. So what if you have a paper receipt? It doesn't mean the vote you cast is representative of what is printed on the receipt.
I think the best way to handle this is the most simple and best solution: Go Back To Paper Ballots. Period. Ditch the machines. Do it just like the previous poster who mentioned Canada, with representatives from both parties watching the counts, manually, by hand. So what if it takes time. What is more important, time or a fair election with an honestly elected president?
