[ale] ***UNCHECKED*** Re: Georgia Absentee voting request

[Edward O. Holcroft]

Everyone knows that revealing the source code is a huge security risk 'cos
the bad guys get to see it too.    /s

The thing I miss most about paper ballots is that you no longer get to
spoil your vote in protest, if you so choose. Indeed, younger people don't
even seem to know what a "spoilt paper" is. E-voting should at least
provide an option to "spoil paper" for those of us wishing to register our
dissatisfaction with all the candidates, or the process, or whatever.
