- Verify "How to vote" and "Vote" buttons
- If you get a chance - start looking around the test poll on VoteWiki to see how voter recording is done and test out how we can verify
- As much as we can do to verify while voting is happening would be helpful to shorten verify
- System will literally "red flag" votes that we need to verify (multiple votes from one computer, noted sock accounts, etc.)
- Votes can be striken and unstriken
- Details provides a lot more info
- Should banner be shown to all editors or based on minimum edits
