This is perhaps a little unfair since people who don't have access to computer systems are likely unable to use their direct vote. Burden of proof on authentication is yet to be solved.

As a counter measure to votebots the email will contain a small graphic file or ascii pattern with some symbols that the voter has to include in the reply.
