Great idea, but there's still one loophole: You've covered mis-votes, great. But how do you prevent some organization from adding "fake" votes in favor of one candidate? Without requiring a voter name and/or identifying ID to be recorded, legitimate voters could verify their legitimate votes as much as they want, but they'd be none-the-wiser about the additional fake votes.
I use Visual SlickEdit 10 for Linux. http://www.slickedit.com/
This piece of software is the most configurable IDE I've ever used; it's a tad on the expensive side, but everything just works and it was worth it for me.
A massively parallel physics engine. I can see this being very useful in the fields of analytic science, where they currently use supercomputers to do similar physics calculations.
Well, 4A @ 250v = 1000 W, for 8 hrs is 8 kWh.
That's a lot, and would probably be very expensive to maintain with a battery-based solution.
I'd say a generator would be the way to go.
1) The voting terminal prints a paper "receipt" with a unique reference number for the voter to take home. *
2) The voter can go online and double-check the integrity of his/her vote by enterring the reference number.
3) Voters and 3rd parties can double-check the integrity of the whole election by downloading the results for the entire range of reference numbers and tallying the results themselves.
Simple!
* Of course for security, the voter's identity is anonymous -- the only id is the reference number, which should be a unique random number from a known set which is slightly larger than the population.
I work as a waiter in a restaraunt and my shifts start and end at random times and are prone to change on a day-to-day basis. Then I work a side job designing web pages and setting up home networks, so client meetings and work times must be arranged. On top of that I am a college student, and my class / study / exam schedule may be almost as variable.
Before my palm I was missing exams and losing jobs. Now, the schedule function on my Palm m500 really helps me to keep it all together.
And when I am out with my girlfriend and we decide to catch a movie, I pull out the palm and fire up an app called "Showtimes" which tells me what is playing, and when, and where. Invaluable!!!
I don't use it for everything though... I keep all my phone numbers in my cell phone's memory. I keep all my e-mail contacts in Eudora on my PC. I keep the grocery list on a pad of paper attached to the fridge...

I suppose if we actually manufactured as many things in the US as are in China, we'd have the same frequency of incidents.
You're in trouble, now!

Looks like he's running his web server on it also. Hahahahahahahaha!!!!! Sorry...
