How to fix our broken election system
Our entire voting system is fubar and needs to be replaced with a fraud-proof system. Possibilities include:
· The nuclear option: get rid of the secret ballot altogether and have individuals’ contact info and vote stored on some national database which was checkable only for verification/fraud-prevention purposes.
· A combination of biometrics and p2p networking and the idea that ANYBODY could do his own vote tally and that all tallies should match. This would involve a voter keeping his/her own vote on his/her own computer with a fingerprint reader like you see on all govt computers and a record of the voter’s contact info and a biometric reading on a national database, and a p2p network to allow ANYBODY to do his own tally by calling for votes the same way you'd ask or a copy of "you aint nothing but a hound dog" on Kazaa; all tallies should produce the same number within statistical limits.
· The idea of using BitCoin/BlockChain technology for voting, (http://www.followmyvote.com); that might be the best option.
