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.

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.

Not transparently. We can't explain difference between URL bar and search bar; we can't stop phishing. Not transparent to people.

lack of transparency is having every citizen completely ignoring how votes are actually counted in ordinary elections.

if you worry about phishing, that's the whole point about being able to verify your vote.
