I worked out a new voting system that,
combining the good points of paper voting with those of computing,
guarantees quick, honest and verifiable results.

electronic vote is a gift to organized crime
In countries with an heavy presence of organized crime, it is absolutely impossible to vote at home
using internet or any other technology. Infact the control of the vote by the crime would be
complete.
If I close my eyes for a few seconds I already see gangsters entering people homes and sitting
behind the computer checking "de visu" each and any vote given there. But such a physical
presence it is not even necessary since it would be enough for the "bosses" to pretend from
their subdues the video tape recording their voting at home.
So if we in Italy (but I know many other countries with the same problem) insist in voting electronicaly,
we CAN'T use any remote system, but we MUST place computers in the usual public polling station.
Furthermore we MUST think that organized crime has an enormous amount of money and an
excellent technological skill.
We all know that crime designs, produces and sells for a few euro instruments which decode the
cripted video signals coming from satellites. We also know that it controls most (if not all) the
commnunication of our police corps.
So who can seriously hope that crime will not be able to get and decode the electronic signals coming
from an electronic election? Only "reading" them crime could control the vote knowing who voted for whom,
but I'm sure crime could be able to modify the signals before they arrive at the
government main computers .
In such a way crime will be able to "elect" it's own representatives without any possibily of
check and control.
So the presence of large crime organization is a very good reason to go on electing our
representatives using papar ballot.
