First, the article is missing alot of details on how it does its security and authentication.
Secondly, it assumes that voter lists are accurate, which is a BIG problem in many areas. Thirdly, it doesn't address how to make sure that YOU are YOU when you vote. Fourth, it has you logging into a government website to vote - Bye Bye anonymity! Fifth, who controls that government website and what makes sure the admin can't change vote totals? I could go on, but you get the idea... I'm underwhelmed by what I read.
NO And no, again! This franchise needs and deserves to be treated with reverence. I want PAPER ballots, one per person, verified IN PERSON, and then kept in a secure facility for long term storage. THAT is the only way to remove the cheat. Ed's Law: "Anything man can encrypt, man can hack."
I'm seeing lots of kooksign. Andrew Yang's Magic Blockchain Elves. No description of how anything works inside. The people who claim to be so good that they built a system that can't be hacked weren't able to make their static web page show anything at all if you have JavaScript blocked. Everybody in their field has JavaScript blocked, and all they're using it for is flashy cruft. If they really had solved the problems they claim to have solved, that would be good for multiple computer science doctorates, but who are they? There are no names on that site. Somebody achieved what all the rest of us said wasn't going to be done within our lifetimes, but won't give us their name(s)?
Aah! Whatever they sold you, DON'T TOUCH IT! Bury it in the desert! Wear gloves!
