(26.1.2015) Let‘s think it through. We‘re talking about an IT system that needs to do the following: verify the identity of around 50 million users within a 15 hour period; register their votes, but anonymously so that no connection can *ever* be made between verified identity and vote cast; store the data behind those votes in a fashion that allows independent verification and checking after election, and in a form that absolutely cannot be altered or manipulated after the fact; and do all this without any scope whatever for hacking, penetration or even just crashing during the voting period.
