[Haskell-cafe] How to create an online poll

[Rick R]

I think the capabilities community including E and Coyotos/BitC have
extensively addressed this topic. Coyotos is taking the correct approach for
trusted voting platform. Since, even if your software is trustworthy, it
can't be trusted if the OS on which it runs is suspect. However, we might
have a few more rigged elections before we see any deliverables from
Coyotos.

We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we
created them.
