    Exactly. I used to want digital election, and then I thought about it for half a second a realized how stupid that is.

    I’m 100% in the camp of universal mail voting. We can use machines to count votes, statistics and manual counting as a check against bad machines, and individuals can check if their ballot was counted properly. Blockchain can potentially be a part of that, but it should never be the core part.

    I don’t trust voting machines at all, paper ballots all the way. Maybe eventually we can do public key crypto, but not now.
