I'm a lot behind in my non-discuss list reading, but my this was my
very first upon seeing Ted's initial post :)

How about:
If you want to have a vote, you need to provide a GPG key
which is registered at some public key server?
This provides several checks and balances:
1. It makes sure we can assign one vote per GPG key, which, though
not definitively meets the "one vote per human being" definition,
is probably "good enough"
2. It allows us to verify each vote, since these should be either
signed or encrypted with that voters key.
3. It makes sure no one can vote "on behalf of" another voter without
their knowledge.
4. It ensures that anyone who is really interested in voting will at
least take the trouble to bother learning about encryption and
getting their mail client and GPG config set up correctly.
5. It provices GNHLUG with a ready-made key-ring/web-o-trust.
6. For a "list of official members" we could search a GPG keyserver
for GNHLUG :)
