I think our election system would be improved with instant-run-off voting (aka alternate vote), election holidays, and blockchain voting - with citizen blockchains. People counting paper ballots is not bullet-proof.

Please don’t cancel my life and career for trusting the integrity of the math behind cryptographic hashing more than black box voting machines.

The key distribution and management problems make blockchain voting totally unworkable.

I think pretty soon we'll see a movement for national ids to have an electronic component to them, which would be useful exactly in these kinds of situations.

No you won’t, and it’s exactly why we use the social security system for identification even though it is explicitly stated to not be used as such: Americans consistently shot down attempts to identify its own citizens. Any suggestion otherwise ignores history and why we use what we use today.

I wasn't thinking about the US when I wrote that to be honest.
