Wow! That is so cool that you were actually there to measure the length of a day! So, like, you've got a really good pension plan, right? Do you still have the same clock?
Or is this just more uniformitarian assumptions masquerading as science?
Wow! A little sensitive, and profane besides. Taking my sarcastic reversal of voting roles to make a point of calling for political neutrality in a technical discussion as an ad hominum (look it up) attack?
Now THAT's useful, in trying to promote a logical discussion of electronic voting. This discussion should not be about liberals or conservatives, about nazis or klanners, but about technical solutions to a very thorny problem.
By the way, Nazi's were socialists, which certainly doesn't fall into the "conservative" category. "Fundamentalists" in the U.S. typically kneel before the cross, and consider it blasphemous to burn it. And you are exercising your right to free speech, and I am engaging in a polite, albeit brief, discussion with you.
And since my mother was faithful to my father until the day she died, you chose a poor partner for your perverse fantasy on two levels. Do you really want readers of your posts to filter your comments through the remembrance that you imagine sex with an 82-year-old dead woman? Ugh!
So, since this is now sufficiently off-topic to belong elsewhere, I think we're done, right? May God bless you with visions of heaven, and peace to soothe your troubled heart.
...so I'll take a stab at it.
1) the voting device must do proper verification for the voter, of course, before the vote is officially registered.
2) the voter selects a personal key, combined with a machine generated random key, or some such.
3) the voter gets a receipt, with a bar code and human readable information which can identify the voting record he registered. He keeps it, we hope.
4) all registered vote packets are encrypted so that any individual voter information in the packet is not publicly available, but the full vote tally is publicly readable.
5) the vote packet is not alterable without violating the encryption, to keep the integrity of the vote.
6) all interested parties may access the database, meaning everyone can keep count, and anyone who so desires can -- using a voter receipt -- verify that the vote packet is in the database the way it is supposed to be.
Is that useful for a start?
No, no, no: you've got it all wrong. That should read (in part) "position X1,Y1 (vote for conservative) gets mapped to X2,Y2 (vote for liberal, communist, idiot, etc.)".
Can't you keep the bias out of the discussion on how to properly secure electronic voting? It really doesn't help the discussion, and that sword cuts both ways.
My son was mugged and shot carrying a laptop on the street in Quito some months ago. He managed to beat off the (three!) attackers after being shot twice, and got his laptop back from the one who had it. My son's OK, and his laptop still works, too. They, however, were never arrested. My guess would be they anxiously await Verizon S.A. to implement that same WiFi system there. Reminds me of the story of the hawks who discovered that Disney World released pigeons every day at 2:00PM during a parade: let's do lunch!
So, what you're saying is, "They came with a GPS
invasion to the drivers of Oregon, but I did not speak out, because I was not an Oregonian...."
Which state is it that is impervious to this sort
of government double-speak?
Which state is it that will be content with falling
tax revenues?
Yours? I don't think so....
