Read it again: the votes themselves are /not/ encrypted, but published
in plain text for all to count. Only the identifier with each set is
encrypted--it serves for voter verification and non-repudiation. The
check for stuffing is the list of names with the same count as votes,
which is also independently verifiable.

> How do we know that each person only voted once?
Again, the published list of names. Re-read the proposal carefully.
