Saw your blog entry on electoral reforms. Is there any FOSS software which will help the voting process?
Well, Debian uses devotee to conduct project leader elections (it uses the Condorcet method). http://vote.debian.org/, and navigate to the left to see how devotee provides results (look at the 2008 project leader elections -- project leader elections have a secret ballot, and a means for the voter to verify their votes without letting everyone else know how they voted)
I haven't packaged devotee yet (it needs a rewrite, to make it more flexible for other folks (like, not have to do a gpg _and_ an LDAP check), but since it works for me, the rewrite is not very high on the list of things to do.
