[pp.int.general] court of arbitration

[Brendan Molloy]

If you did some bloody research, you'd know there are many academic  reports
detailing how to implement a secure, anonymous e-voting system, and one such
project is nearing completion by Pirate Party Australia for the purposes of
our internal elections.

It's much more complex than I care to explain (or fully understand for that
matter), but we have people who have great expertise in this area working on
it, and I would be happy to share it with PPI once it is completed, and put
it forward for as much quality assurance as possible.

It basically sends out a token to your email address that you use to have
one unique vote, which is then stored in some severely confusing (for me)
cryptographic manner.
