    and then the coercion is simply you give me your number or i hurt you

    there is no way that you can make a system where you are able to validate your vote after the fact, and also is safe from coercion

      What’s stopping the abuser from demanding a photo of their filled out ballot? Idk why there’s a huge thread about this hypothetical. Are a certain point you can’t create policy defined by a tiny minority.

        there are signs and staff everywhere ensuring that nobody takes photos of anything

        and even if you could, you can request another ballot paper

        Are a certain point you can’t create policy defined by a tiny minority.

        and that is why we run elections like we do: because this system is secure and you don’t need to validate your ballot paper… when you introduce machines like the US has, that exposes huge flaws that poke holes in a very robust system for little gain

        the tiny minority is validating your individual vote; not abuse and coercion
