$GAHC The programmable nature of blockchain means that “transactions” do not necessarily have to be related to money, property, or other currencies; they can represent votes. The service has a verifiable, tamper-proof ledger that could contain those votes without showing the identities of the voters. It cannot be “hacked,” a fear that has compelled officials of the past to keep running elections the (arguably archaic) pencil-and-paper way. Once verified, the votes would be public record, a reliable source that would remain open and available for all. In short, the use of blockchain could revolutionize elections.
GAHC is already beginning to capitalize on the potential of blockchain for elections with the addition of the Hawaiian Union. We are eager to see what GAHC does next.
