As for redundancy I was thinking that the system that scans in the ballots at the polling place would also contain a local db, it also occurred to me that the counties might demand holding a db as well.

As for altered data. I confess I haven't taken it to that level yet, while I started to flesh out the exzact way the encryption keys were exchanged between the review board and the library (so no audit trail/db existed) it became overwhelmingly clear that this thing absolutely had to be Open Source down to the OS. I suddenly had a vision of a Florida situation only the lawyers were all huddled around a pile of source code arguing the constitutionality of how X came to equal Y.

Since that point I've backed off and stayed at pretty much a project level with this thing. I've only showed it to 2 people so far you and Kim Alexander of the California Voter Foundation. I know this thing is allot bigger than I, and will require more politics than expertise in getting anywhere, and I've got so little time as it is.

My little 'meditation' here was a sort of feeler for what kind of attention the monks might have in this type of project. I'm hoping that in the end the idea is passed to Universities that collectively start and Open Source project toward achieving making peacetrain a reality

And if my favorite lang --perl and open source get help and respect along the way then yeee hawww! :)
