We've used horses for centuries... How dare anyone suggest that trains, planes or auto-mobiles could be useful.

  Really bad take. Blockchain offers no benefits to what provably worked in the past, whereas there are many advantages to planes, etc. over horses.

    That's completely inaccurate. 1. Every vote further secures the blockchain voting process. The only way to overcome this is with a 51% attack, so every vote cast further ensures the validity of the entire chain. 2. The chain can be public and anonymous, which gives every voter a verifiable way of understanding their vote. They can look and ensure that their vote was cast exactly as they intended, but it also allows administrators a way to review the votes. The core part that the article got wrong was that county administrators have a definite way of pre-tabulating as well as tabulating votes.
