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.
It's not gonna fix it because ultimately the powers that be can always just pull numbers out of their ass, but at least you can then track the fraud being committed (even if you can't do anything about it).
We have secure ways. Blockchain is a solution in search of a problem.

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.
I just told you how it could though
Blockchain isn't going to fix deliberate voter suppression.

Oh yeah sorry, I meant using it under a different system entirely.
Like you could guarantee some despot isn't coming in and stuffing your ballots.
Obviously under this shit it is useless lol.
It doesn't guarantee the person at the other end of the transaction is the actual voter.
I mean unless you're purposely giving someone else your key it does. It's the same argument as the one against mail-in votes in that case.
Mail has a literal paper trail and destroying it would require a big physical operation all over the election area.
