Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations, and, if appropriate to this discussion: action items, next steps:

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.
