This is how you concentrate evil, and doing so in a huge area with the most power and resources is a bad idea.
The better idea is to organize, spread the good out, beat gerrymandering, beat FPTP, regulate campaign funding and special interest lobbying, change the laws, bring back evidence based policy making expert council, and crush the enemy… Or be crushed and or ousted yourself.

Maybe with a schema that allows a one time verify, and then churns your entry. If that verify occurs upon entry synchronously at the time you vote, if possible, that’d be no less safe than the paper ballot you feed into the machine.

No different than how it’s recorded today. We can improve from there but it’s not worse with the upside of a public ledger.

This is the exact use-case for a blockchain, a public immutable ledger where you can validate your vote, but nobody can tie it back to you.

Absolutely not

It won’t keep track of my place in a Playlist to resume so I trashed it.
