That's not true at all. The worst the state can do is to deny votes to be written in the blockchain by mining empty blocks. But no matter how much computing power it has, the state can't write false votes, thanks to public key cryptography.
If transactions where cheaper, voting on a public blockchain like Bitcoin would be a great thing. That's not the case today, but I'm pretty sure it will be in the coming years.
- KenanSulayman 9y agoThat’s not correct. The worst that can happen is falsifying votes before they’re written to the blockchain. And there’s nobody who will check the „blockchain“ for his vote, because people want to vote and get over with it.
- IncRnd 9y agoThere are many ways to subvert blockchains, especially being the authority in charge of data entry, without breaking crypto.
