This possible mass registration "problem" is a red herring that can easily 
be overcome by building an initial voters registry that is
1. based on registrations that are at least 12 months old
2. applies a simple scrutiny process, like the provision of a name and a 
residential address, to make reasonably (not 100%!) sure that all voters 
are unique individuals.
3. has a certain minimum number of voters (5000?) to insure against sudden 
capture by an organized group.
