Since I'm feeling left out of this thread, I thought I'd fit some
electioneering in; I was just thinking:
The suggested magic-key -> vote mapping seems entirely sensible and
reasonably non-susceptible to fixing; however - there remains the
possibility that multiple people with identical votes could be covertly
issued the same cookie, and thus shrink a selected candidates vote count
without being detected.
Thus I believe it should be mandatory for a large number of comedy
candidates - who should never be elected to stand - such that a
sufficiently random vote distribution occurs that this is not possible;
Or in other words "vote for me" ! ;-)
Hmm,
Michael.
