: A better solution would be to make the voting-procedure as

: vote-server. The backdraw was that everyone had to stand in long lines to vote
: on the vote-network-connected computers. One solution is to place many vote-computers to
: avoid VERY long lines.

That'd be one opportunity, though I prefer the Bush Party 4 / TG95 way of voting:
VOTEDISKS!!

VOTEDISKS rule! They're cheap, they're a great souvenir, they work
on all computers and they can be fun to create (another artwork).

Rumours about rC making a BushParty 4 votedisk editor is of course bullshit.
Rumours about people stealing votedisks are also of course just bullshit.
(If every paying attender got a username / password combo,
faking votedisks are a bit harder).

Piffi and rECTUM cAUDA hereby applies to the job
of creating a lame votedisk program, which will contain
absolutely no backdoors at all.

Yo!
And remember: Namevoting rules!
