And my point was to point out the security flaw in Bender's post. It's not a bad idea, it just can be exploited.

I'm glad you trust everyone put in a position of authority, but I don't. Especially not now. The more likely one believes they need to win, the more likely one is to cheat the system. Would you say we live in a time when people are more or less likely to cheat? And this goes either way. Democrats don't trust Republicans and vice versa. It's never been more partisan in my lifetime. In my opinion, this is the worst time to start relaxing restrictions on voting, because the temptation has never been higher. Personally, I believe the best blend of ease of voting, anonymity, and voter secure is at the ballot box. I'm open to other ideas, but just want to be practical. I'm especially interested if we can find a way to tie it to voter id.
