The number of possible combinations 12345 vs 12354 vs …. 54321 is quite small (5! = 120) maybe half as many again for people who chose less than all 5 – Elections NZ could easily release the number who voted for each possible combination without giving up any information about voter identity

isn’t using someone’s internet connection without permission theft of service …. wont it effect evidence gathered that way, fruit of the poisoned tree and all that

At the moment weirdly my day job happens to involve building cheap wireless nternet-of-things devices ... this week I'm doing window window open/close sensors .... a little late I guess - in many ways I hate the idea of putting in an alarm system, it seems so wrong, giving up some how
