The DPL can authorise other developers to check the secretary's work -- this has happened in the past after, iirc, the 2002 DPL election. For public votes, all the data can be published after the fact, rendering the secretary powerless to influence the outcome at all. So even if that did happen (which I don't think's likely), I think the project could work around it satisfactorily anyway. Cheers, aj
