$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.
