node server.ts

So, you're the moderator for the election and you wanna make sure the things are not fraud? (fraud bad ew) We included a Python script that can assist you in that! (albeit, the Python script could definitely be improved by adding automation but for now it's still a great tool to verify!).

First of all, make sure you have the necessary libraries installed, I included that in requirements.txt, you can just do pip install requirements.txt, or install python-dotenv manually, there's only 1 after all...

But yeah anyway, just run the script and there you have it! It will tell you if the vote is legit or not, if not then it will spit back out its calculations alongside what you entered for you to compare (perhaps there's a typo somewhere? or whitespace?)

This works by basically following step by step what we did to generate the ID in the first place and comparing if it's the same or not. Since we used hashing, this is probably one of the few ways to check as hashing is irreversible (or at least very costly to)
