Jon,
As far as I have heard, no. There is no intention of using captcha's.
Mostly it is using a unique key sent to each person (much like a key for
a video game or software registration).
If you want some excellent articles and opionions from an expert, I
would suggest looking through the Crypto-gram reprints (available here:
http://www.schneier.com./crypto-gram.html ) It is a good newletter and
has the latest info on e-voting just about every month. And, Bruce is a
cool guy who can drink a lot of beer and still chat you up about crypto
(defcon 5 experience there..)
