> With a database, you require a persistent connection to the database to have integrity. With a blockchain solution, you can build meshes of local connectivity that sync up. Nothing about what you described requires a block chain, dump the database to raw SQL and GPG sign it, distribute on your website. It's not like the information ever changes once the vote is done. Nobody suggesting this as a solution is an expert either. |

I'm not saying that blockchain is the answer, just that blockchain is one potential answer, and may have attributes that makes it subjectively better for this use case.
In my state, counties and some cities administer elections, and may semi-independently make product and process selections. There are definitely blockchain-based solutions intended to allow affiliated, independent entities to productively interact. That capability may be of interest to policy folks.
