Putting up slides that actually count the number of marks to make with three-ballot for a complex election is disingenuous and yes, it is mocking. It's also disingenuous not to point out more recent work, like punchscan, which does not have nearly the problems implied in the talk. Jonathan: I have to disagree with you, having watched the video.

In fact I think the opposite -- I interpreted his talk to convey that he had a sincere hope that such systems could be made to work. However, we're not nearly there yet, and it's important for cryptographers (and others) to remember that. I have written what I hope is a simple introduction to the topic <a href="http://jonathanstray.com/from-electronic-to-cryptographic-voting" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
