Came here to say this too. Blockchain is a great technology for e-voting. Vinay Gupta[0] has more to say about it. Do a Youtube search for some of his talks, he talks at length about blockchain and its uses including a so called 'state in a box' system for bootstrapping micronations [0] https://twitter.com/leashless

If Joe McCitizen can't understand how it works, than it is a non-starter. Otherwise, you'll just get accusation after accusation of cheating.

#13Voter ID, like most democracies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_Identification_laws
In America? That's a yikes. Disallowing people from voting is the most widespread fraud America has

Then America needs to stop living in 1800 and register everyone at birth. Then everyone can show id and vote. Like in all modern democracies.

#15Federal Electoral Commission - handles all elections, handles all voter registration. Counties, cities, political parties, etc have no say and are not involved in that.
Voters are not registered to or by any political party. Can vote for whoever they please.
Voting is done by 'good old-fashioned' paper and pencil. Votes are counted by electoral commission staff, and scrutineered by members of the relevant political parties. Those paper votes should all be able to be counted within a few days. They are a self-evident paper-trail, easily able to be recounted and double-checked. Machines are to be banned, as they can fiddle the books very easily.
Voting is allowed to be done over several weeks, meaning that everybody who wants to has a chance to get to a ballot-box. Voting absentee (voting at a location not within your normal voting area) is handled by the electoral commission staff. Mail-in voting is handled likewise.
Political party members are not permitted within the actual voting area. Only voters and electoral commission staff allowed in there. Steps are taken to prevent too many voters in the area at the one time.
Voting sites are sufficient in numbers that waiting times are very short, less than an hour.

I was joking, putting blockchain anywhere near voting is a terrible idea.
