HUMINT is much more resource intensive than SIGINT. Paper voting is much more secure for persons than e-voting / polling.

Blockchains are more easily conducive to side-channel attacks at revealing who a person voted for than paper voting is.

I don't disagree you. I'm not aware of a production-grade blockchain voting protocol that yet exists that is resilient against one or more of the currently known de-anonymization attacks.

I'm not even sure it's possible to build one, given that humans are a portion of the workflow. On the other hand, I'd love to be proven wrong.
