Re: Computer Voting Expert, Dr. Rebecca Mercuri, Ousted From Elections Conference
We should also remember in all of this no purely electronic voting scheme, without the most asinine, if not draconian, is-a-person identity methods, cannot prevent the *selling* of votes. Essentially, if the right to vote is defined by an electronic credential, or, more properly a zero-knowledge proof-of-knowledge of an electronic credential, that credential is instantly fungible -- and transferrable. Of course, that's what we want in the long run, I suppose: demonopololized force markets. That is, people who buy and sell their votes are called shareholders, right? To mix a paraphrase like a dead horse, in the long run, l' etat c'est merde. Cheers, RAH Parlez vous franglais? -- - R. A.

Re: What happened to the Cryptography list...?
The problems with closed lists relying on a single human for forwarding and filtering... Couldn't he just let people post in his absence? It kind of detracts from a list if it disappears for weeks at a time on a regular basis. Also there are delays, and then there's Perry decisions that a discussion is no longer worth persuing when contributors are still interested to discuss.
