From what I understand, verifiability and transparency is something you don't really want because it enables vote selling. In a secret ballot, someone dishonest enough to sell you their vote is probably dishonest enough to vote the other way.
- whyever 9y agoYou can already sell votes, see this start-up: https://www.votebuddy.de/ https://www.votebuddy.de/
- ygra 9y agoQuite telling are their FAQ: Is this legal? According to German law this is illegal. Thus we're based in New York and the website is served from the US.
- germanier 9y agoJust FYI, that site doesn't actually do anything. It is designed by the Peng Collective to create outrage, nothing more. The same happened during the 2000 US presidential elections with voteaction.com, a German-based site (as it's against US law) that turned out fake as well. But of course, postal votes make vote selling possible.
