How can we safeguard the integrity of each vote? Today we have technology that protects our financial systems, military weapon systems and national intelligent organizations. These proven systems can be combined in a way to issue serialized equipment to authorize personnel for the dates and hours needed. Each would have their own level of clearance to perform the tasks they are responsible for. Each action would be recorded and verified with a higher levels of network authority and again, only available during the hours and dates needed. Ballots would only be printed after the voter has cast their vote but before they leave the booth. If the voter made a mistake he could put the printed ballot into the booth's scanner for correction. All ballots scanned at the booth would go into a shredder and the voter could then correct his ballot on the screen and reprint his ballots. Once the voter accepts the printed ballot he submits his vote on the screen and takes the two ballots to the depository. So two computer generated, serialized and scanner perfect receipts of the completed ballot are printed.* One for the voter and one for the public record. This would eliminate all the extra ballots that could be used for unauthorized voting as well as any question of voter intent. Each piece of equipment involved in the issuing of the receipt would be linked to the serial# of that ballot and an electronic document would be generated that exactly matched the two printed receipts. So the voter themselves has validate the printed ballots, keeping one for themselves, while the other electronic time-stamped document is deposited into an optical scanner used as a secure depository. This second scanned count which should always match the electronic count. This paper ballot could also be used for recounts if needed. The voter could use the receipt to inquire about their vote in the future. The stuffing of the ballot box or "finding ballots" would be eliminated. With this system, if you find a ballot, you have to find the voter that cast that ballot too. This is not so in any of the current systems in place today nor have we ever heard such a system ever proposed. http://www.afvr.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
