Right, I'm with you on that. Any kind of blockchain, at least, but not only, if used only for printing ballots, won't fix all things magically. There are several proposals I've found out from other friends since mentioning this, including from the inventor of the Bash shell (smart guy) for using blockchains to verify the entirety of ballots cryptographically, including their contents as-filled, but just verifying legitimate ballots as-printed isn't enough.

There's also the matter of balancing security and traceability with anonymity. It's a very complicated challenge.
Interesting post btw. Going to forward it to a few people I know who prefer long-form insightful examinations.
Thanks, I made some typos I can't correct because it is too long. I'll probably do a couple more that go into greater detail on each type

What? What does that have to do with the blockchain ballot thing?
WTF are you talking about dude? Are you high?
