RE: Moscow Begins Crypto-Elections Testing: Thumbs Nose At U.S.
I do hope Active Citizen starts operating. This is going to revolutionize voting, starting with Russia. World over there is a wrong perception about elections, the losing side never comes to terms with the results. Blockchain voting has the power to cover this loop hole whenever it comes to elections. I do believe it makes voting more secure and easier.
In terms of security, the coins would secure a person voting and not allow any election official to change a vote as we would have a vote recorded only one time and for the specific candidate one wants hence making each vote become immutable after it is recorded. This would as well verify that no votes were changed or removed, and no illegitimate votes were added. On addition to this, blockchain voting would make sure those who are voting are who they say they really are and whether they are allowed to vote.
In terms of making voting easy; It allows anyone to use it.. as it is a matter of knowing how to use a phone.
We have to agree that with this technology everyone would agree on the final count of the votes since each person can keep track of the tallies of the votes making it easy for them to count the vote themselves.
