blink, blink.
you mean *MORE* widely available than photoshop/gimp/illustrator/etc?
Let's face it, if somebody can *see* their vote, they can record it.
and if someone can record it, then systems for counterfeiting such a
record already exist and are already widely dispersed. If the
republicans, democrats, greens, libertarians, natural law party, and
communist party all offer you a bottle of beer for a record of your
vote for them next year, there's no reason why you shouldn't go home
without a six-pack.
