The trend of wanting to give every citizen random ids tied to their identity is very scary. Also 'WE" won't give anyone anything. It will be a registration with a government agency that will eventually lead to their rights being violated by the govenrment at some point in the future. Why is it people want to do the government's job of infringing on rights with some faux altruistic intent.

Hmm, great point I did not think of. Doesn't the government already know your identity and voting record however? Not that that is not already scary, but if the point is to avoid fraud, then it is not incrementally scarier from a privacy perspective? Not that that is not depressing that we have to look for "holding the line" instead of reducing government's visibility into people's actions.

Parent may have worded it poorly, I don't see why you couldn't be given a UUID for your vote that could be checked online later.

how many promises of "no personal information will be stored" have we, as people in various levels of the tech field, know for a fact is a tricky worded lie.

Well that's why it needs to be open sourced.
