enter blockchain voting...(now if I could just find a forum to post in where the main focus is solving problems using cryptography...)
I don't even think the solution is that complicated. In fact it is super easy:
- Severe penalties for cheaters and actual enforcement.
- Triplicate paper forms with random tamper-proof identifiers.
- At least two adversarial counting groups (usually dems, repubs.)
- Counts must match. If not, the orig held by the voter can be called to see who the cheater is.
The real problem at this point are the computer based tabulations. It was these databases which were the target for the hackers, or more simply, the cheaters. It is understood at this point that the mainstream media can put out results make of whole cloth and nobody will question it. If they do do a re-count the cheaters will be protected (e.g., 2016 Detroit) since actually prosecuting people would threaten the perception of America as a democracy in the minds of the sheep and thus create a 'threat to national security.'
^^^ good suggestions. Only correction I would make is the 2 party system is basically the same party and the primary systems keeps any third party from ever ending the scam.
Also I would add that the larger human based vote fraud came from county board of election workers who are placed long in advance and were busted running ballots through the machines 12x for hillary and 0x for trump. This was found during the recount and was the last info that came out before a judge cancelled the entire statewide recount..
interesting side note in the above mentioned instance the county clerk was available to immediately comment as to why his workers needed to run the ballots upto 12x in the case for Hillary and 0x for Trump because he claims the machines are old. Also interesting to note that this same clerk was asked regularly if his machines were old and for years has never made 1 complaint,... and yet within minutes of the "human error" fraud being busted he for the first time ever states the machines are old and that his workers must have forgot to zero out the tally after they were done rescanning the hillary ballots 12x and the Trump ballot 0x.. LOL
