But before I submit my membership to this, I wanted to try it myself. The tutorials were fine, I created the election, generate the key, copied the key to a notepad (Stickies in Mac OSX10.5), created 2 questions, created the voting list, emailed them, got them filled out, and verified their return with Fingerprints. Then I tried to tally the election. I grabbed the key from the Sticky, being careful to only select the key with no leading or trailing spaces/characters, and to ensure that the full key was in fact copied correctly. I could not get the Tally to complete. Clicking the Tally! button produced: "This page will tally the election and set the result back with the server." Next line: 0 Tallied I have tried this with 3 different elections, with the same results. Any suggestions or hints? Thanks, = Charles Andres Ben –
