Turns out you don’t even need web3 or shitcoins to verify election data, despite what you may have heard.

False election results just about as good as inscribing a dick pic.

Issue seems to be that none of it is open source and verifiable.

What do you mean by verification ? Wouldn't the election officers who submit the result to bitcoin txn verify ? As far as open source - it is bitcoin time stamp server .. isn't it open source ?

“Stacy Scott Mincey, Screven County Election Supervisor, hired Simple Proof to make sure that the handling of votes in her county wasn’t called into question…”

Wow .. anyone can literally download the time stamped pdf .. there is no need for media doing circles around election officials ..with ..." what is the vote count" ?

Why would you?

Because , people fight over the results as they are tabulated or announced ...

If you have it in a spreadsheet , anyone can change the spreadsheet after an hour ..

With this system , you have an immutable snap shot available to entire world .. its an amazing reporting system for high stake contests .. recounting is pain ..

People are crazy to fight over the results.

Yup .. that is true .. but we do have people !
