Idk why everyone rips on blockchain just because it's used for dumb things. If we used blockchain for voting we wouldn't be going back and forth on election integrity.
Highly unlikely. For all intents and purposes it is impossible to create any system, that is anyonymus and trustworthy. And in voting one is exactly as important as the other. If you tried to make electronic voting, keep in mind, that ANY DEVICE in the chain that runs even microcode, or has any form of firmware is suspect. Better cryptography almost makes things worse.
I'm sure there are barriers and concerns, but it has already been done in several places such as Japan and Sierra Leon to great success.
Yes, also on the Christmas drawing of auntie Janet. Obviously some elections have way bigger wagers than others.
