You got the context wrong. The hacks have not been in the area of the Block-Chain transmissions.
In a nutshell, the Block-Chain transmits random batches of vote totals so that voters, poll-watchers and exit polls can monitor what’s going on. That either keeps the system honest or flagged for fraud.
If a station is flagged for fraud, the procedure can call for a default paper tally only with witnesses.

Doesn’t matter. The system IS hackable, is PROVEN to be hackable, and is therefore a BAD IDEA.
When crypto goes 5 years with ZERO hacks it’ll be time to begin to consider the possibility that MAYBE the system might someday be secure enough for this. Until then all this amounts to is letting the side with the best hackers win the election.
Not trolling. Just pointing out the truth. And if you think the truth is trolling then that shows us just how little confidence even you have in the idea. So now that we both agree this is a terrible idea, we can move on.
Sounds like an analog version of a checksum.
