Actually being secure is one thing, but the public need to know that it's secure. They need to be able to see it. Understand it.
As soon as you start hand-waving and frothing about blockchain all people hear is "blah blah blah tech magic" and either trust it blindly or dismiss it.
- kosievdmerwe 8y agoEven if I trusted the software, I cannot trust the machines. How do I know that someone didn't insert extra code somewhere to flip my vote? Remember, if you hacked the software you can hack all the verification methods the voters have on voting day. Then that's not even taking into account the fact that you can inject code into various bits of hardware like the touch screen.
