I think our election system would be improved with instant-run-off voting (aka alternate vote), election holidays, and blockchain voting - with citizen blockchains.
People counting paper ballots is not bullet-proof.
Please don’t cancel my life and career for trusting the integrity of the math behind cryptographic hashing more than black box voting machines.
- Craighead 6y agobut the black boxes just count the paper ballots nobody is cancelling you for being wrong
- nradov 6y agoThe key distribution and management problems make blockchain voting totally unworkable.
- mariusor 6y agoI think pretty soon we'll see a movement for national ids to have an electronic component to them, which would be useful exactly in these kinds of situations.
- andrewmcwatters 6y agoNo you won’t, and it’s exactly why we use the social security system for identification even though it is explicitly stated to not be used as such: Americans consistently shot down attempts to identify its own citizens. Any suggestion otherwise ignores history and why we use what we use today.
- mariusor 6y agoI wasn't thinking about the US when I wrote that to be honest.
