I saw an article ... somewhere ... about a proposal to make vote verification much simpler. After voting, you would be given a copy of a randomly selected ballot that wasn't yours. The ballot would have a serial number, the serial numbers wouldn't match to names, they would match to the ballot, that is the list of ballots and how each one voted would be preserved. If <10% of the people would check how the ballot they had verified with the reported vote, the safety of the ballot would be assured. I'm not a mathematician but it does sound simple. Who knows, it may even work! -- Take care | This clown speaks for himself, his job doesn't Wayne D. | supply this, at least not directly Keyboard missing - Press <F1> to continue ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
