Comment on Verifiable Voting: A Primerparent

Comments

You /still/ have no way to ensure that the checkbox corresponded with the name, and that you cast the vote you think you did

Well the voter can verify if the voting machine is acting honestly by querying the salt used for encryption (refer to "How do you know your ballot was properly constructed?"). From an adversarial voting machine's perspective the chances of the voter validating the ballot is 0.5 and given the sensitivity of the elections, I'd imagine even one incident of foul play spreading like wildfire to raise alarms
