The fact that our vote is anonymous makes it impossible to verify actual votes from fake votes.
Once you hand over your paper ballot, there is no way to prove how you voted after the election. No way to confirm that your ballot was actually counted.
With 30% of the election day machines not working in Maricopa, all the Door 3 votes are at risk for ballot switching, not to mention all the mail in votes.
This is why the tabulators and printers "Malfunctioned" on election day.
After that all they need is time... They are still counting in Arizona, HMMMM
Nice! Unfortunately according to those in power, we don't have a problem.
The paper "tear" is easy way to randomly generate a unique match
but difficult for a computer to fake
and it is easy for a human to verify.
If a voter finds their "voter" tear online but not their "vote" tear something is wrong.
If a voter finds their "vote" tear but the votes are marked wrong something is wrong.
Ideally you would scan and post online as the first step.
I like the concept of scan and post it online for all to see --- many eyes.
If your 100 vote lots start going overcount or way undercount --- you've got a problem.
If a lot of people can't find their matching tears (out of the 100 in their lot) you've got a problem.
Anyway, you have a forensic way to prove tampering without giving up anonymous..
I do like your idea.
I would like to see a trial run of it with an "evil" team that tries to break it.
This might be a fun test experiment for a high school.
