In my company i am the sole/lead/only developer, and as such i have my own defined best practices and i follow them adamantly, that said i have written clever couplets of code that "just work" they are commented from here to the nines yet 4-6 months and 3 projects later when it comes time to look at reviewing for a possible update in the project i can sometimes look at it and have to spend extra time to follow the elegant code around to get it "loaded" back into my head to see what i did.
i think that so long as programs are written by humans who can sometimes look at it sometimes as an art form there should always be an "elegant code" overhead coefficient worked into every project update.
my guess is they are going to check it against registered democratic/republican voters to gauge electronic machine confidence. (even if they don't check it against if your registered one way or the other, its just instead of a guy doing a tick in the electronic or not columns, they have some kinda unique identifier)
