Electronic voting without fraud
Essentially a clever application of public key cryptography combined with open-source software...

One of the main objections to e-voting is that it's difficult for each voter to know that her vote was recorded accurately and counted correctly, while she remains anonymous. In the system designed by David Bismark and his colleagues, each voter gets a takeaway slip that serves as a record of the vote, and allows elections to be independently verified.

Recorded July 2010 at Oxford, England.
Duration: 7 minutes

1. Slips can be bought, sold, or used for coercion.
Not for me.

3. US elections are a fraud
""open-source software""

nothing like that here

How about Canada where they hand count national elections in 3 days?

4. Dragons, unicorns, orcs, compassionate conservatism, a functioning libertarian nation,
Reaganomics, and electronic voting without fraud.


What do these things have in common? They're all things that don't exist but that have large fan bases that either wish they did or think if they just try really hard they can make them real.


Hand-marked, hand-counted paper ballots.
