You still have to trust the machine that prints it. Which, I will admit, is still better than the current system. However, there are public ledger voting systems with stronger anonymity guarantees. So, my opinion is that if we're going to do it all over again, we might as well do it right.
- grzm 10y ago"You still have to trust the machine that prints it" And if I'm understanding correctly (and I might not be), you can confirm that the printout is accurate.
- s_q_b 10y agoWell, sort of. You have to trust that the printed ID is unique.
- grzm 10y agoGood point. That'd be an issue with any verification system isn't it? Edit to add: If you can confirm that all of the ids are unique and that the total number of ids are correct, that would go a long way towards verification, along with checking arbitrary receipts against the results, regardless if the ids are pre-printed or printed afterward. I'd prefer not having any printers involved though. Pre-printed ballots would work just fine and there's one less piece of equipment involved during the actual vote.
