How SERIOUS are you about the election??

in #politics • 8 years ago (edited)

I've been super busy with an exciting project involving this election and the blockchain.  We're getting super close to the election and the only way this project will take off is if we can get volunteers.  I've noticed the political landscape here on Steemit is mostly anarchists and non-statists.  But if this election goes sour the United States is going to be in dire straits and that could be a serious issue for everyone.  So while it's completely quiet here on the political front, Facebook, Twitter and EVERY OTHER  social media outlet is on fire with politics right now...

Out of fear many States are returning to paper ballots and hand counting which is a method far easier to commit fraud on than current electronic systems.  Just see how unwanted paper ballots are handled with this photo captured the day after the California Primary outside of the Registrar of Voters office in San Diego.

Here is a short video about this:

We believe the blockchain is the only answer to having legitimate, transparent elections with ballots cast on a time-stamped public ledger.  This community makes the most sense to evangelize this solution for the world and future elections.  But do we have enough time to be heroes?

We also do not want an innocent country to be blamed for our own internal corruption and fraud.  Wikileaks efforts to reveal the rigged election within the DNC has caused Russia to be setup as the bad foreign actor against the United States.  Rather than be honest and deal with the systemic fraud and boogeyman is being created that could have devastating consequences. As a well informed citizen this is too much propaganda to stomach. 

The group I'm working with has a prototype blockchain voting application that we would like to test and in the process we would like to introduce people standing in line at the polls to Steemit because we believe this place can be a powerful agent of change.  If you're interested in more details let me know and I'll make a posting explaining who we are and what we need.  Otherwise I'm going to keep trying to run this on facebook.

    The U.S. is going into dire straights. None of the people on the ballot have a plan to stop that. No one in the political debates are talking about any REAL issues.

    Paper ballots are easy to fudge a little. While not looking, you slip one in, etc.
    Electronic ballots are harder to commit small scale fraud, but EASY to commit large scale fraud. So EASY that people are being repulsed by it.
    (Have you heard of the counties that had more votes than people in the county? Somehow the votes where multiplied 1.5x?)

    It is not that electronic or paper is better. The entire system relies on honest people, honestly voting and honestly counting.

    My friend, with just a bit of thought, and a lot of mechanical/electronic background came up with a very elegant system that is almost impossible to cheat except by blatant lying at the top. (however, TPTB do not want a fair and honest system, they want a convoluted, black box, single point of control, system)

    I would love for you to publish your white paper here. Or just show a graphic of how your chain of ownership is intended.

    I wish you luck.

    Upvoted, resteemed and promoted!

    Guys and gals, what she has in mind is nothing short of revolutionary and if nothing else, there will be lines of people standing around reading their smartphones. Better to get them on steemit than facebook! This could be the biggest single day steemit sign up in our history!!!

    I agree, we will need the support of the blockchain community if we are going to pull this off.

    Yup! This is very interesting indeed! UPVOTED, RESTEEMED AND PROMOTED!

    This group has been working on this since a good year now, but this mission goes way more back then this, and includes massive think tanks and brain work. We are at the brink of something really big. Giving power back to the people.

    This is very important! Total transparency in voting would put a refreshing light on the election.

    I just can't perceive how two openly wealthy and corrupt people got to be the top candidates, unless there was some cheating going on. The media makes fun of them, most others seem afraid or indignant. I believe the blockchain will be the way of voting in the future. Best of success on your pioneering project!

    Well, I'm seriously considering leaving the country due to the selection of candidates...so, I guess I'm pretty serious... :(

    Why I am in Baja Mexico....I have seen the inside of politics and it wasn't pretty. Not hard to see the pattern playing out and where it was going. I thought I would take a sidelines position for awhile until after the chaos;-) People are apathetic in America now, I was hoping it would be different but it is not.
