So the voter can control his voting was recorded correctly, and it is possible the control the result of an election afterwards. During the hearing, the claimant was asked if he believes that the constitution requires that the voting has to materialize somehow (e.g. a paper ballot). He was clever enough to deny. The future might bring us technologies to archieve the votes electronically. Even though we cannot imagine such a system yet. Concerning pings and trackbacks, they are enabled. Wordpress should also automatically ping other blogs as soon I link/cite them. But something does not seem to work: I never saw me appearing in the comments of cited posts. Needs some further investigation. At least it was possible (though it sounds rather archaic) that the voting machine prints a ballot which gets archieved.

I would rephrase the last statement a little bit: "The question however is IF we can design the whole process so it provides the necessary transparency." I'm rather pessimistic. BTW, does your blog support Trackback? Hmm. I would rephrase the last statement a little bit:
