I know it may be a little late for those of you voting in elections, but I
wanted to share this.

Andrew Myers, a CS prof at Cornell, has this nifty online voting system set
up that's reasonably secure, and does ranked voting.  We're [Cornell SFC]
using it to generate our voting preferences.  It's pretty easy to use, you
might like it if you don't like selectricity.  It doesn't say so on the
website, but if you download the source it's under (essentially) a BSD
license:

> However, they clearly don't have selectricity's graphic design department.

Supposedly, in the future they'll be putting out a new version with some
interesting cryptography properties, although right now it's just email or
IP address based (either-or).
