Then how do you prove x% of the voters for candidate A weren't just given the same identifier? This'd defeat the purpose of being able to verify your vote in the first place, something unique to you has to be in the record too.
- jjeaff 6y agoPoint is, you can verify your -own- vote only because you have the identifier that was given you. You can also see all the other votes and their identifiers, you just can't tell which people made which vote. Only the individual voter knows. i.e. I can go look online and knowing that I am voter abc123, I can confirm my vote was counted correctly. I can also see vote def456 but I don't know who it belongs to.
- parliament32 6y agoSay we have 5 people voting. I know that 4/5 are going to vote for candidate A, but I don't like that, so I publish: abc - A def - A ghi - B jkl - B mno - B Then I simply give all the people who voted for A either abc or def. They all think they're identifying themselves, when really they're sharing identifiers.
