Voting presents uniquely difficult challenges, you need integrity, strong authentication, verifiability, and anonymization. As others have stated, this particular scheme's weakness to tampering lies at the receiving end of the app&#x

Folks are (rightly) focusing on the descriptor "best." Best needs a specified metric, or it's meaningless. This always annoys me in internet discussions/arguments about "the best X" where nobody specifies a cr
