Voting validation scheme. How to prevent voting machine/ vote counting hacks
I am proposing a voting validation scheme
1. Verifies your vote got counted
2. Verifies your vote got assigned to correct person/law
3. maintains your anonymity
You are assigned a voting Id call it elector ID
The candidates are assigned candidate ID
After voting you get printout of hash code for each choice you made.
Later you go to to your candidates website plug in hash code and your id to verify your vote went to the candidate you selected.
When we use credit cards there is never any ambiguity as to who was the purchaser, who was the seller and what was bought. Use similar scheme for voting except for the addition of anonymity.
IF the candidate has any questions he should be able to cross check the vote count and his supporters hash codes.
