They've tried for years to turn it electronic without ever succeeding. If they really are doing this and it isn't some stunt, then this could really be something! I've seen the documentary on the secretive Diebold gems which are used in US elections and it seems a more open system would work better.

Like the recognition of your peers for being the guy who cracked a voting system? Ask Kevin Mitnick how big of a deal peer acclaim is. If money were offered, that would draw hordes of script kiddies who would serve no purpose other than to overload things. If someone's worried about the effects of a bunch of people trying to vote at once, that'd be a decent way to do it, though not as easy as submitting it to Slashdot. The hackers that have a chance will do this without some token reward being promised. Incentive? Like the recognition of your peers for being the guy who cracked a voting system?
