Comment Re:Problems with Verifiable Voting (Score 1) 236

Easy, allow multiple votes with only the last one being counted.

As soon as you can produce misleading receipts, you can't make verifiable claims about non-counting.

I remember thinking about this sort of problem, and the basic answer is that if you want to have verifiable voting, you'll need a trusted party to hold the votervote relationship. Though you can split it between multiple places and so on.

Comment It's not an 'analog hole' (Score 1) 466

The fact is that the notion of DRM is intrinsically flawed. This 'print screen' workaround is another version of what has been referred to as the 'analog hole'. Any time something like this is being done on a general purpose machine (read 'in software') it's trivial to get a machine-readable copy of the content by using storage as the audio/video device.
