Problem they’re in MULTIPLE database, scattered around the country. The registrar’s office MUST have a database to work with. I’m a usable product junkie. They can’t operate without a database. And really as an old friend said “ALL software is database driven, because in the end ALL software is about the storage and retrieval of data.”
You can’t eliminate the database. Without the database you have to voter registration data. Even if you turn the DB into a blockchain (which seems to be maybe what you would be saying if you hadn’t decided database was a 4 letter word) it’s still a database, there’s still fallible humans in charge of it, and if somebody can legitimately add, subtract and modify data in it then somebody can ILLEGITIMATELY add, subtract and modify data. Nothing is unhackable, it’s just that somethings are best hacked through social engineering and getting somebody’s password.
True and blockchain is tried and tested for retrieval of value. No hacker of any sort has been able to add value to their bitcoin account without someone allocating the value to them. That only means it does that, and doesn't solve registration fraud.

Not with a blockchain. Nobody has ever illegitimately added value to their public key. Someone else had to send the value to that key. The vote privilege would leverage that unhackability. Of course it does not solve the registration problems: illegimate registrations, colluding registrars, double (or more) registrations by the same person, etc. All those will take more work to solve.
