You are correct, Ralph.

I'd grade Steve's proposed solution with an "F".

Steve:

How would your system prevent vote selling and/or voter coersion?

Once a voter has a receipt that identifies the association between the voter
and the ballot ...

Also, it is my assertion that such voter/ballot associations are in
violation of the Colorado Constitution: Article VII Section VIII.

Yesterday I discussed my ideas with Josh Liss, the Boulder County CO
election coordinator, and he said that just yesterday morning he had
received an email about the proposed Humboldt County system using scanned
images of paper ballots. Apparently good ideas pop up in multiple places at
once.
