The blockchain voting idea, among its numerous flaws, is philosophically grounded in hyperindividualism. I care about the integrity of my ballot, and mine alone.

But elections are not about my vote. They're about everyone's vote. I care about not just the integrity of my own ballot, but the integrity of every other voter's ballot as well. And, given a system where most people will never do a complex blockchain verification of their ballot, or have a mechanism to be certain that no additional machine-generated ballots were added to the results... blockchain isn't solving the actual problem.

Don't be in love with technology when looking for actual solutions to actual problems.

People don't verify their vote now, so this is unimportant.

> have a mechanism to be certain that no additional machine-generated ballots were added to the results

This should only require a hand full of people to check.
