Evoting expert planted a seed

To Disclose Or Not?
http://www.evoting-experts.com/index.php?p=16

Suppose, hypothetically, that I knew of a vulnerability that would allow someone to corrupt vote counts or interfere with voting on some e-voting system being used in tomorrow’s election. And suppose further that it was too late to get the vulnerability fixed. What should I do?

<snip>

I might want (still speaking hypothetically) to put a stake in the ground so I could prove later that I knew the vulnerability information before the election. One way to do that would be to write a short file or document describing the vulnerability, to compute the cryptographic hash of that file, which is a unique number that can be verified later but that conveys no useful information about the contents of the file, and then to publish the hash.
