I live in Colorado, where we recently (a few cycles ago) introduced nearly 100% mail-in voting. In my opinion, we should move the whole country to this system; participation will likely go up, lines for folks who show up on election day are manageable and there is significantly less human error when you don't have to rush it all in one day.

I agree that a blockchain solution may be overly complex, but I think the spirit of what they're after is in the right place.

The problem with mail-in voting is voter influence. When you vote at a polling place, you're guaranteed to be able to vote in a booth on your own, without other people or party advertising to influence you. With mail-in voting there's no way to stop voters' controlling spouse and/or cult leader from influencing their vote or even voting for them.
