THIS BETA IS NOT INTENDED TO BE PLACED INTO PRODUCTION SITUATIONS, AND IT SHOULD BE DEPLOYED ONLY ON MACHINES THAT CAN BE REFORMATTED AFTER TESTING WITHOUT SERIOUS CONCERNS.
there is no way that the net can be made secure enough for voting. I am baffled at the tendency of people to attempt to solve issues with hardware.
the issue is not that voting is hard to do. it's not hard to do. it doesn't take a lot of time. the issue is, people don't vote because they think it's a WASTE of time. they don't think it matters.
a voting booth is designed to make one's vote private. no one can see how you voted. you think this is possible on the internet? think again.
