| Hi Everyone, We are redoing the Show HN for VOTEism. The first time we did a Show HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23430800), there was a very valid suggestion from the HN Community that we open source the code. Accordingly we have published the code here: https://github.com/VOTEism. A brief about VOTEism ... again :) The Covid-19 situation forced many things to shift online. We wondered what it would be like to conduct democratic elections online. While that is the far-far future, we set about building something that could get us a step closer towards that future. VOTEism is a secure political opinion poll app to express your preference for one electoral candidate or the other. VOTEism currently works for the 2020 USA Presidential Election only. But we hope to take it to all countries where democratic elections happen. Current political opinion polls are riddled with low sample sizes, interviewer biases, push poll tactics, self voting sock-puppets, and worst of all, the lack of privacy. VOTEism seeks to change that. Your vote is encrypted with a public key on your mobile device and is decrypted with the private key on an air-gapped system. 4096 bit keys are used. Anonymized and aggregated results are published on the VOTEism mobile apps. VOTEism is built, published and funded by a small and independent software company (AskDesis INC.) based in the United States. We have no political, governmental, corporate, or media affiliation. Please take time to read our transparency policy here: https://docs.voteism.org/transparency We hope you find VOTEism useful. Feel free to ask us anything. Links:
