Voting and Free Software

[bruno at tracciabi.li]

For "real" political elections, the increased risk of manipulation (and the increased ease in hiding it), will always  overcome any advantage which electronic voting might provide.
For all the rest, it depends on the threat model: "cui prodest?" Who could have enough of an incentive to spend time, money and effort in manipulating any specific vote? For real political election the answer is always "a lot of people", so there is no reason to ever allow electronic voting for those.
