>We have a very simple and strict voting process here - the key feature which builds the trust in voting is that every 4 poll workers are responsible for the integrity of only up to 800 votes
Can you say more about this? So at each polling place 4 workers are assigned 800 votes, and then they rotate out to a different group of 4? I don't see how that inspires more trust than our current system, the government could simply be lying that they rotated the 4 poll workers out. Or, in a large city this would be a complete cluster as you'd need hundreds of poll workers on standby to rotate in & out every 30 minutes or so. I would definitely be interested in hearing more though
