I feel that voting data should be made public record after de-identifying individuals. This is one area where stronger standards and norms may be helpful. If there was a market for third-party voter archival services at low costs, this would be far less likely. The storage and technology should be very cheap, especially with the blockchain hype floating around. As skeptical as I am of new regulation, the requirement that de-identified voting data is made broadly available, and for all intents and purposes, immutable, sounds like a reasonable one worthy of further investigation. Some governments already use similar services to archive emergency responses from social media, as is required by law in many jurisdictions[1]. That voter data, the foundations of the democratic US society, doesn't receive the same treatment is truly awful. [1] https://archivesocial.com/ https://archivesocial.com/
