shoot down this election solution [View all]
Regardless of the voting method post a photo of every ballot online.
Every ballot has a unique identifier only the voter can identify.
Dre ballots are posted as electronic image files also showing unique identifiers
Anyone can print and count the ballots and compare to official results.
Anyone can verify their own ballot online with the unique identifier.
Audits could be done by anyone with resources.
The only argument I've heard against this is that you lose the true secret ballot if people can prove who they voted for. I'm just not sure that consequence outweighs the benefits.
