For itchy people, you could give them the option of maintaining an audit trail or not. Not really. From the perspective of accurate elections, an individual's vote is not purely his own business. That's not to say that I have any right to know how you voted but rather that I have a right to know that you are entitled to vote and your vote has been accurately recorded. This I have an interest in your audit trail. It makes no sense to put in place were we can verify the accuracy of some portion of the count. If the winner's edge is only a couple of hundred votes, we can tolerate a missing audit trail for no more than the difference in the count less one. Otherwise it's useless. I knew you were going to give me some yada, yada.>/i> The obstacles are political, not technical.
