In order to secure the vote we need open source machines, verifiable ballots (including online verification), complete chain of control, body cams on anyone handling ballots, transparency to public and party observers via cameras, multiple isolated tabulations (verifying they all agree), and also strongly verifiable voter ID. Nothing in this process should be left up to chance. I don’t accept the stance that a lack of evidence of fraud means that fraud isn’t happening or that a better process shouldn’t be designed.
- aw1621107 6y ago> verifiable ballots (including online verification) Is this at odds with secret ballots?
- airstrike 6y agoNot if you split the info on the ballot in two halves, who voted vs. who they voted on
- aw1621107 6y agoAh, that's a slightly different definition of verifiable than I had in mind. I was thinking of schemes to allow voters to not only verify that they voted, but that their vote counted towards their intended candidate. I suppose it depends on what precisely is to be verified. The scheme you describe allows for verification that a ballot has been received/sent/counted, depending on details, which may or may not be verifiable enough depending on who you ask.
