In a system where your vote can be verified, you can be coerced into voting a certain way.
- Bromskloss 10y agoAs a special case of this, one might see the mild "coercion" in simply being uncomfortable with going against the grain by voting for something that others strongly dislike.
- marcosdumay 10y agoThe votes do not need to be public. It should only be verifiable to people that know your key. That does not solve actual coercion, but honest peer pressure isn't a problem.
- yen223 10y agoIn a system where your vote can't be verified, there's no way to assert that - your vote went to the candidate that you chose - all votes come from actual human beings Politicians can rig votes without coercing anyone, so I guess that's a plus.
- imtringued 10y agoThat could be avoided by generating a new identity for each vote.
