> With electronic voting systems it is physically impossible to prevent manipulation and provide control. I don't know with a key tied to your vote that can be verified by yourself isn't half bad. Though then the exploit moves to the tallying of the votes since no one can independently do that... I feel like electronic voting systems have to be the future but so many seem to think it's impossible it makes me wonder what the ultimate solution will end up being.

Isn't the blockchain technology that Bitcoin uses, perfect for this? It is 100% public, and you can review your vote easily. Each person just needs a private key, and it could actually be issued once for each election. However, I am not saying that we are ready for this, as not everyone is able to access the internet still.

  That seems like a solution that could work. Granted someone could take your key and vote but they can already do that with paper ballets or a fake ID today anyway. I'm sure there are drawbacks but that's probably closer to the final solution.

    We should have some scannable code on the voter registration cards that allow users to easily use their private key when they vote electronically.
