My personal key never leaves my non-networked machine; there is no way that the voting machinery can decrypt that. Additionally, it would make it much harder for someone appointed by the project leadership to determine if I was fudging the vote, or to easily cross check the results. I suppose we could create a voting key for future elections, once the last kinks in the vote engine are worked out and debugging is no longer a top priority (right now, in about 1.5% of balots that pas the GPG check, my code extracts an incorrectr fingerprint, and thus the ballot subsequently fails LDPA tests I have to manually intervene and finagle that (since each step of the voting machinery is independent, and keeps state on the file system, this is trivial). I need to debug that, and add facilities to handle a vote key. If I am still secretary next year, I'll see what we can do about that. Bottom line, so far there is no way to encrypt a ballot, and encrypting it to my key means it shan't get counted. manoj -- The face of war has never changed.
