Filksinger--
     I think that overcomes my major objection to printing the ballot -- if the
printouts are left at the polls then they could not be used for intimidation or
reward.  An other possibility is bar codes being printed along with the name --
but that still leaves the possibility it could print one candidate's name while
giving the vote and the barcode to another.

Subject: Revolution?
Newsgroups: sff.discuss.heinlein-forum

     A quote I think deserves some comment --
-----------------------------------------------------
We have been living amidst one of the great revolutions of human
history, and we hardly know it: the penetration of the State into every
aspect of human life and society.  Some people regard this as good and
"progressive," others regard it as tyrannical; but either way it's a
fact, a transformation as great as, say, the Industrial Revolution.
Absolutely nothing is now beyond the scope of State power.

To solve the problem of human beings knowing that they were voting for the
correct person, in a universal format, the writing is mandatory. Bar codes
along with the names is doable, as it can be readily checked by a human
being with a bar code reader, but the bar code _must_ use some easily read
and translated format. Any organization that wants to check those votes must
have the ability to scan the bar code and compare it to the names, using
only their own equipment. In addition, every digit of the bar code must be
clearly defined; no strange numbers which might be a way to trace who wrote
what.
