    Fine, allow just in time rechecking... allowing you to poll and select on the spot an appropriate key to show to the strong arm morons... You vote for Nader... query the system for a key with a vote for gore... write that key down... and show it to the strong arm guy

  5. Vote logging on Electronic Voting in the News · · Score: 3, Informative

    Must be anonymous and verifiable...

    the best Scheme(method) I have heard involves a unique key assigned to each vote and given to each voter... Each voter can then check up on that vote at any time to ensure that it is counted... Further, the list of votes could even be published and publicly browseable... such that each citizen or perhaps restricted to voters could identify and verify the vote.

    Not necessarily true... Some of them are just waiting for finances to get in line... and the extended edition has enough value added that it will be worth it to buy... before new years, but watching the ee before RotK is a must do for true fans.

    The internet today is the same as it was in 1975 when al gore was a freshman congresscritter. It is bigger, faster and more commercial, but Al gore did nothing to support the "development of the internet" the internet as it is today is a necessary and inevitable evolution from the internet in 1975 although if he wants to take credit for taking it from a educational and military institution to the spam-laden beast we have today... so be it.
