    The idea would be you send every "eligible voter" (whatever that means lol) an encrypted key to their mailing address.

    You take that online, confirm it is you via a second authorization like SSN/ID, and then use that to add your vote to the chain.

    It'd be on there in a few minutes, wouldn't require poll counters, and it could be accomplished on pretty much any device.

    The key can't be spoofed, you can check on your own vote immediately, and it's very quickly added to the whole count.

    I just see it as an all-around improvement over mail-in due to its quickness and it gets rid of any accusations of biased poll counters.

    I don't really believe it would matter unless the system it was used under actually wanted a fair democracy though. It'd just be a convenient and secure way to go about it.
