From
Computer Risks Digest, which has just celebrated its 20th birthday :
A $1 lottery ticket is serially numbered, with UV-encoded information, on tamper-evident paper, and tracked with a heavily- audited central system.
Reasonable, since that ticket could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Your ballot has a level of protection equal to its projected value: Zero.
Until votes are worth something, they will continue to be worthless.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
