    There is no use case for blockchain.

      It's a secure way to transfer data, that's it.

      It's really good at that one thing. Not a currency, nothing else.

      But you can transfer data with a very tight and personalized encryption while guaranteeing it is being added to the data pool, which is useful in voting.

        We have secure ways. Blockchain is a solution in search of a problem.

          Well, it could theoretically be used to allow voting via an at home computer or cellphone without anyone being able to wine about security concerns, not that it'd stop them.

          Idk if there's anything else like that yet.

            We don't need to do that, you're searching for a problem.

              Making sure every person can vote in a democracy is pretty important.

                Blockchain doesn't accomplish that.

                    Blockchain isn't going to fix deliberate voter suppression.
