From the booth to the final count
Cast a sample ballot, get your Vote Word, then find your ballot in the posted results and count every vote yourself. Nobody can tell which ballot is yours, but you can.
We should be able to count all the votes ourselves, and still keep every voter anonymous.
Sample election. The town, candidates and ballots are invented for this demo.
You sign in as usual. The machine has no idea who you are.
Choose one option in each race before casting your ballot.
Remember your word. It isn't printed or linked to your name, so only you know it.
After the polls close, every ballot from Precinct 12 is posted online, listed alphabetically by Vote Word. Cast your ballot first to see it here.
| Vote Word | Mayor | Question 1 |

Every posted ballot is public and anonymous, so anyone can add them up and check the official result, or recount later.
