  1. Two months before the election, send every registered voter a PIN. Send the PIN again at 45 days. Without this PIN, online balloting cannot be completed and a mail-in ballot won't be accepted.
  2. The ballot contains a second identification number, tied to that PIN. The PIN and ballot are never stored together, but if the PIN doesn't match the ballot ID, the vote won't be counted. Personal identification is not contained on either form.
...that's it. Dual-factor authentication saves the day again.

I'm cool with this, but it would never work. It's more secure than our current mail-in ballots, but it's still exploitable. If you could "accidentally" mail the PINs to the wrong address, you could disenfranchise thousands of voters.

... if we can't trust our supervisors of election we have other problems ...

There's a reason FL has 67 different supervisors.  There's a reason the law is set up such that any of them will go immediately to jail if they misplace even a dollar.  These are not people who are easily recruited into grand conspiracies.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
