Every technology before and after Bitcoin is irrelevant in this situation. We now have a verifiable and decentralized way to secure our elections (so we can elect the people we want) until enough citizens around the world realize that voting is unnecessary due to the freedom nature of Bitcoin.

We had methods of detecting election fraud before blockchain technology. They are how we know our elections are fraudulent.
>States and districts will
They will continue to not care about the election fraud because it benefits them.
>Eventually people will lose interest in voting all together.
If you've identified that voting is meaningless, welcome to the so-called far right. Your complimentary copy of the Monster Girl Encyclopedia will materialize on your bookshelf without you noticing, and you will soon begin being able to spot the people who are oppressing you on the street without having ever seen them before.

This has existed in Taiwan for years, and has been implemented in their elections for years. The vote counting is a very slow and very open process, but it is extremely verifiable and verification is open to "everyone who wants to do it." (Taiwan is one of the two functioning democracies in the world, so it is natural that they solved this problem by other means.)
The situation isn't changed at all by blockchain technology - again, the things you want were things that could be done before. They were, in fact, sometimes done before. The reason these things are not done isn't that the technology doesn't exist, the reason these things are not done is that the technology does not get adopted.
Bitcoin has only existed for three US elections. I don’t care about earlier or non decentralized ways. 2024 will be the first ever where it’s mainstream enough and possible to be used anywhere.
#Bitcoin will make elections extinct within ten years.
