It might be possible to have a system that allows you to prove that your vote was counted, but if you want to prove it was counted correctly, then you open the door to vote buying and coercion.

- bastawhiz 8y agoIf you can prove that you voted for who you voted for, you can sell your vote to a third party. They can ensure that you're not betraying them.

- unclenoriega 8y agoThanks for the link. I hope that catches on in more places.
- vanattab 8y agoI don't think that helps with the vote buying implications though does it? Not that I really think vote buying would be such a problem.
