I'm happy to see work being done in integrating Servo into custom browser chrome. My dream browser would be a servo based Qutebrowser. I can only hope.

I'm doing exactly this at the moment. I'm in Europe. My lawyer says that there's probably not going to be any gain in it for me unless the company will cave and agree to some sort of severance. I don't have my hopes up,

Of course, because the linux community is a unified body with the exact same needs and wants across it.

What kind of evidence or personal experience gives you that strong of a certainty?

I think you are severely overestimating the turnover for ballots. Yes, presidential elections might get ~50%, but anything else does not. The capability of having ballots cast from your own device would allow for more in depth participati

Do you feel the need to audit the ballot process when casting a vote? Do you wait until the station is closed and watch the people count the votes? Do you know what to look for in regards to ballot tampering? Do you know who is allowed to c

The id is a physical card, where the private key and the data attached to it can be accessed through NFC. Sensitive data can be accessed through specific applications, public data can be accessed through a simple NFC reader. And yes, if the

I don't know where you're voting from, but most of my adult life I had long queues to wait in - granted I was an expat crowding an embassy's corridor - and even if I don't have to work that day, I can think of better thi

Why do you think it's harder to count votes? I'm not sure what belenios uses, but in the process I envision a ballot is a publicly accessible encrypted ledger, where the votes exist publicly.

I'm looking at the problem through the lens of "why does a voter want to see their ballot". The answer which prevents the issue of vote buying is "to audit the validity of the vote", which then is ensured through pu

OK, fair. I meant it in the sense of the younger generation has more exposure to concepts like encrypted communication and peer to peer communication and encrypted ledgers, etc. They might not know how exactly they work, but they know the

I have a different comment where I'm stating that one way to counter the influencing of votes is through allowing the voter to cast their ballot any number of times until it ends. I can think of a method that allows a voter to decrypt

Also "everyone that can be arsed" to make it to the ballot. Which is a notorious problem that democracies are faced with today. Younger demographics don't get involved considering the election process too much of a chore in c

I think that stamp and paper ballots are actually hampering the democratic process. There are many downsides of physical ballots: the need to physically be at one location, having to set aside a day to vote, lack of interest for younger dem

Any idea how those apply to the current topic? Just on a quick glance some of the voter fraud methods don't seem to apply: unregistered voter, multiple voting, etc.

I think this will be prevented when these private keys will be part of the national IDs, similar to how Estonia and other European countries do it. If there's a "national registry of citizens" comprised of public keys, I thin

My opinion is that IT literacy is increasing fast enough that in the near future a significant percentage would understand enough about electronic ballots as people understand now about the paper ballots. And I think you're over estima

I think a better measure against this is not physical presence, but allowing one individual to exercise their vote any number of times until the ballot period ends. This means that a malevolent entity that wants to influence votes needs to
