  its an interesting project, but being as how the the topic of the project relates to security, democracy and ease-of-use, I think there is a point relating to each that would be worth addressing if you've not yet submitted this for assessment:

  1. Security: i know its a demo, but 'admin' and 'password'? No two-factor for admin login? nor biometrics? not even https?

  2. Democracy: Candidate 3 is disadvantaged by the fact that their button is partially off screen when there is plenty of room to show all three (ideally in a randomised order)

  3. Ease of use: Some visual feedback about what was happening with the fingerprint scanner would be really helpful. You held your finger there for what felt like a minute and if I couldn't see something on screen I think I'd have given up and walked off or found someone to help.
