I'd say we only attempt to verify a vote if there's a doubt or a request to do it. That is, the vote is counted if it's received by the lead who does the counting. When the list is published for everyone to see, interested party(ies) can object and/or ask for verification.

Additionally, I'd propose using a Drupal plug-in (if available, or some re-purposed polls plug-in) and giving developers access to an online voting form. This process would be much easier to manage than email (e.g. my vote wouldn't have been lost because of the email being apparently lost in transit), and would be authenticated by Drupal.

How else do you propose we verify the sender is who they are? Not that
our elections are world shaking, but I would like to have some modicum
of authenticity to show I am recording the correct vote for the
correct person. ;)
