saymrwulf e8b6f30871 Swiss Post E-Voting Go PoC
Proof-of-concept reimplementation of the Swiss Post e-voting
cryptographic protocol in Go. Single binary, 52 source files,
2 dependencies. Covers ElGamal encryption, Bayer-Groth verifiable
shuffles, zero-knowledge proofs, return codes, and a full
election ceremony demo.
