Comment :  As an electronic engineer, I am aware of the possibility for inaccurate or manipulated results within an electronic tally, even if your "Independent Dual Verification" methods are used.  Please consider making the tallys voter verifiable, perhaps through a website using anonymous IDs assigned at the polls, and including a "paper trail".  If monitors can verify the number of votes at a poll site and voters can verify the actual choices, there would be far greater reason to trust the election system.
