Comment (by toshio):
I don't think we want the voting app to live on fas1/fas2 as fas is a
whole 'nother level of privacy. Voting records are something we don't
really want to give out but they don't have the same risk as someone's
home address.
I'm with G on the difficulty of actually keeping this from the logs in
such a way that it's 100% not traceable.
I'd also note that this does open the door to different types of voter
fraud than before. Having votes tied to userids means that we could do
things like allow a person to change their vote once cast (a requested
feature... but not a heavily requested feature), allow a person to review
their own personal voting record (did I fat finger that? I don't remember
voting in the last Board Election, is someone stuffing the ballot box?),
etc.
Keeping a table that records that a user voted in an election but not what
their ballot was means that if people come forward and say, the system is
saying I already voted but I haven't it is much harder to investigate the
possibility that something fraudulent is going on.
Since I'm not the main coder of this, I'm not in a position to veto it but
I'm not altogether convinced that it is a good idea.
