specially if those counting the votes are very few (and hence cheap to buy out). I agree that tech needs serious scrutiny though.

You can ensure adversarial counting. You cannot secure voting technology.

adversarial voting still an easy way to cover up the maneuver. blockchains do offer a reliable decentralized way for vote counting.

That would require people trust experts, and still be vulnerable. Worst of all possible solutions for elections.

everyone can audit their own vote and make sure it was counted properly at any time.

This is not a realistic understanding of people. People cannot trust blockchain without a lot of expertise. Not a good idea.

people understand the Internet though and that's all is needed to check. the word blockchain can be left for a whole system audit.
