Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations, and, if appropriate to this discussion: action items, next steps:
Cryptographic voting systems have the problem where the voter would be able to sell their vote because of the verifiability of the vote.
Paper mail in ballot should be a backup to any the electronic system.
It is currently possible to have more votes for a party than there are registered voters for that party.
There are many different sources for government identifiers. This makes it difficult to ensure a cryptographic identity is truly unique.
Key management is challenge and there will need to be a practical memory based-solution to recovering a private. Center Identity proposed their visual memory based-solution for private key recovery.
