This would enable both vote selling and tracking down the people who voted against you.

  Not if properly combined with other technologies. Cryptographically signed voting enables vote selling only in the same sense that requiring voters to present ID at the polling place already enables it.

    Depends if you're signing the actual vote (Alice voted for Bob) or just their presence (Alice voted). I thought akeck was talking about the first one but you're right that the second one would not present the threats I mentioned.

  >tracking down the people who voted against you. Tracking down every single vote against you, or just a large batch of them for retaliation? If it's the former, I can't really see the purpose. If it's the latter, you can do that today, people don't usually make a secret about who they vehemently hate in the presidential elections on facebook.

    The third option is tracking down a specific person who voted against you (and was paid to / promised to do otherwise).

  I don't see a problem with either one. It's apparently perfectly "fine" for parliament, but not for the general public? Don't a lot of people publicly register as members of a certain party anyways?
