server hosting the voting system can check the database to see what<br>
voted every member (so far, it has never been done/requested).<br>

</div>This may be ok within PP-CAT. Perhaps there is little danger anyone<br>
will be bullied or bribed into voting a particular way; if so, this<br>
system is no problem in that context.<br>

One thing is our internal system (as PP-CAT's sysadmin I can say that we never checked the database) and another one are government elections, where I agree that 100% secure electronic voting is not feasible nowadays.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We can't look for an unique system but if someone achieve it, hey, let's prize him/her with a Nobel :) Meanwhile, there are middleground options: <a href="http://www.wombat-voting.com/">http://www.wombat-voting.com/</a> I like to show this because I think it has some advantages from both options and it is "easy" to replicate in an open source way (which is the only thing I miss from Wombat).</div>
