Default EMP weapon

put finger to keyboard and composed:

But you do not have a proof that the compiled source code is loaded in
the voting machines.


Leif's scenario could just as well be applied to the servers as it is
to the ballot boxes:

"And the entire election, in every election site, is being monitored
by members of all the parties. (ordinary party members, not the
elected party members), so it is not easy to cheat."


It is easy to find 10000 people who can understand how paper ballots
work and how they are secured.

To find ten people who understand how electronic voting works and how
to make it both secure and anonymous is hard. You might find 100 who
*thinks* they know.

And if the rest of the population doesn't trust the machines, or the
machine-attenders democracy is in trouble.
