Imagine having a president who could answer this question: "Do you think the government should test blockchain technology as a way to build a bulletproof voting system?" Our government is solidly in the "not even trying" category of repairing confidence in our election systems.

The problem has nothing to do with blockchain. The problem has to do with people who falsely claimed the election was rigged. Unscrupulous people will say things like that regardless of the technology and you know it.

You're one turtle away from the truth. Those fraud claims can only gain oxygen with an intentionally non-transparent election system. And non-transparent systems of any kind get rigged 100% of the time if you wait long enough. Assuming there is value in doing so.

The system is pretty transparent but if you want to make it more transparent Blockchain goes the wrong direction. Any serious cryptographer will tell you that. A better solution that’s widely adopted is machine-readable hand-marked paper ballots. Built-in auditable paper trail.

As long as I can check my own vote all the way to the final database, I don't care what technology gets used. I doubt better ballot checking gets us that.
