[pp.int.general] Online voting versus online discussion

[Eduardo Robles Elvira]

Hi people:

I'm the leading developer of Agora Ciudadana decision taking system. I
have researched a bit on voting, elections, secrecy of the ballot,
etc. RMS is right: what complicates everything is definitely the
secrecy of the ballot.

There's an interesting talk of Ben Adida, cryptographer and now
working at Mozilla, about voting systems and the history of it in his
USA perspective, I think it's worth to watch: https://t.co/Ju6j6z2C

One of the things that I didn't know is that the USA has had secrecy
of the ballot for a decade now; previously, the vote was public for
everyone to know.

Regards,
     Eduardo
