I don't think encryption is the solution for the voting problems. As long as the data is only available digitally, I think it is much more open to fraud. I think we need to push for having a paper trail as well so the results can be verified by the press or anyone else who wishes to do so. Although that doesn't eliminate fraud, I think it makes it considerable harder to change massive numbers of votes.

Also, I don't think you want to encrypt the votes, just digitally sign them. Everyone should be able to read them, just not tamper with them.
