Week 3 Discussion Topic

Two-three pages on this topic. Email to the instructor at chirsnevison@gmail.com

Read about the Helios voting system here. Read sections 4 and 5. You can skip the mathematical section 2 and section 3 about setting up the web site for the system.

Participate in the Helios election set up by the instructor. When you log onto the Helios system and get ready to vote, create one ballot and audit it before creating your final ballot and casting it.

Discuss your experience with this voting system. Do you understand the basic idea of how it works? What questions do you have? Do you understand why the author does not recommend this system for contentious elections?
