This is not about government elections, right? Because it seems to have no protection from creating millions of fake accounts and voting in their name.
Another problem with electronic voting is that votes can be bought or people might be pressured to vote specific way. The voter might save hashes/keys as a proof that they voted for a certain candidate and this can be used as a basis for payout or not being punished.
- illiac786 2y agothis only solves one problem: make a vote verifiable. It does not solve who is entitled to vote and how to identify this person – how could it? it’s different in every country. I do think it’s very useful though, it’s like one huge chunk of work done.

- illiac786 2y agoas I said, it’s one block in the solution. A big one. Also, identifying individuals online is a totally different problem.
