Could This Be The Solution For Voting?

I'm going to watch how this develops. Simple and elegant

Welcome to the new age of elections. Punchscan is an optical scan voting system invented by David Chaum that allows voters to take a piece of the ballot home with them as a receipt. This receipt does not allow voters to prove how they voted to others, but it does permit them to:

  • Verify that they have properly indicated their votes to election officials (cast-as-intended).
  • Verify with extremely high assurance that all votes were counted properly (counted-as-cast).

Be sure to watch the quick demo (link at bottom of their web site).
