* Russ Allbery [2022-03-05 12:39]: I'm not sure that I see this for DPL elections because we publish both the list of votes and the list of voters. If those two lists aren't the same length, that's fairly trivially detectable. You're right, I missed that when I looked at the election results.

I know Holger's and Bill's proposed options are prone to change and merge, but I'll say it now and probably reaffirm it later: I second this option. While I prefer Harlan's, it has failed to gain sponsors, and I don't want to risk the complete loss of public votes in Debian. I think the statu
