Peter, what would be wrong with having a machine in the booth that prints any valid receipt BUT is not connected to the voting system. "To vote use the red machine; if you're being coerced you can use the blue machine to print as many receipts as intimidators."
A trade off between (mild) user complexity and the desire for receipts (without coercion).
The system described allows the user to take a reciept (which has only numbers on it) and use a website to determine that the vote was recorded correctly. A decoy receipt would also have to pass this test. Frankly, the whole online-verification step seems like an unneccesary complication. * Both real and decoy receipts would have to be in the database for verification - which bothers me a lot. * There seems to be no provision for recounts - what are they supposed to do - have everybody send in their receipts? How can you tell the decoys from the real? I give VoteHere kudos for releasing their source, but it doesnt solve the e-voting problem. Peter Trei
