[Elections] A simple SqF board elections solution using SqP

[Cees De Groot]

Guys,

Please. please please please. KEEP IT SIMPLE.

You haven't been tasked with running the next elections for President
of the United States. We don't need biometric identification, trusted
third parties or a notary public to count vounts, whatever. Just the
Net version of 'please raise hands'.

We are just a bunch of guys in a *friendly* community. We have our
technical differences, but I really cannot imagine any inside party
seriously attempting to mess up these elections. Nor an outside party.

A system is needed that is reasonably objective and which stands a
reasonable chance of listing the right people on the voter's registry.

It's easy to discuss this issue to death, to build in very strong
safety guards - but let us do something *simple* and just go for it.

Should I take that as an insinuation? I won't. Just let me put
forward, for the record, that I don't have any interest in tampering
with the result (as owner of the system where SqP runs). I wouldn't
know why...
