IMHO, if the interest is in protecting the democratic process, the first 
place we should look is the digital voting infrastructure, as that is the 
vector most abused.  Knowing what I do about network and computer security 
in general, I have come to the conclusion that hand counted paper ballots 
with a strong chain of custody are the only way to ensure a free and fair 
election.
