I don't understand why this is a flaw in the scheme. This is just plain election fraud -- the scheme intends to provide you a receipt so you can check on one of the ballots. If you give away the receipt, you're giving away the security of that particular ballot. This sounds a bit like arguing that cars with airbags are poorly designed because, if you take out the airbags, they won't protect you in an accident. -- ?!ng ---- election-methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
