Re: The position of the constitutional court of Germany is worthy of note
"The problem is, with millions or tens of millions of people voting, hand jobs are just not practical."
Uhm.... Germany has roughly as many voters as the US. I never had to wait for more than 10 minutes to vote, the voting booth close at 18:00, and the official results are announced before 20:00. Typically enough polling places have been counted by 18:30 to give a really good prediction.
Financial institutions represent a completely different problem than voting. With voting you need privacy particularly against the people running the election. With financial institutions you don't have that. Within the organisation there are lots of audit logs. Therefore you cannot move money from one account to another one without there being a "paper" trail. That wouldn't be acceptable with voting. If you don't understand why, look at how elections in the GDR worked.
