Because your vote also needs to be private to the point where a third-party can't verify that a vote belongs to you.
To prevent selling of votes, or forced votes via blackmail.
- florabuzzword 8y agoThanks. That’s the answer I was looking for. I guess there would be no way to verify privately.
- xori 8y agoThere's ways. A memorized "secret" that would be put on the ballot in addition to your vote could be used for you to verify a checksum. The main issue is the hardware, and added complexity. But these are interesting problems that should be talked about.
