>Trying to make voting electronic, regardless of it being block chain or something else, ensures that only a few people are able to understand the system. This. Too many Internet/blockchain voting proponents tout their systems without appreciating the fact that people need to trust their elections. Trust comes from being open and scrutable. It's amazingly tonedeaf and elitist to insist that election systems need to be cloaked in cryptographic mumbo-jumbo to be trustworthy. It's also dangerous because the poll workers actually carrying out the election won't be able to tell when there's a failure.
