Just have a SMS message texted to voters once their vote is counted with a link to a scan of their paper ballet. Would make voter fraud a bit harder as each person could validate their vote was correctly counted. If the voter doesn't get their SMS, then provide a 1800 number for them to figure out what happened. This would only stop the changing and non counting of a real voter, but does not stop fake voters from adding their vote....which would need a diff fraud protection scheme.

- brassic 10y agoHere in the UK you can ask for a replacement ballot paper if you make a mistake. So you vote for candidate A, photograph it, swap it for a replacement ballot, vote for B, photograph it, etc. and get paid by all the candidates. Except the candidates know that a photo of a ballot paper proves nothing.
- pjc50 10y agoYes, although (in the UK) it's an offence to photograph your ballot paper and the voting privacy screens are pretty minimal.
- losteric 10y agoHow would that prevent voter fraud? I could send you a confirmation for voting one way despite counting your vote differently in the aggregate.
