I’m a software architect.

There’s merit to this concept, although I have my reservations as I’d like to see the open source community fully vet this application.

I’ve considered Blockchain being used for voting. That part of it isn’t my concern, it does do exactly what is claimed - you can’t fake the “transaction ledger” after something is recorded into it. The concern is the validation of the user making the vote via face recognition - I’m weary of the use of biometrics in general. If somebody gets a hold of your digital signature and can spoof it into an application or system, I’m not sure what you’re supposed to do about it - you can’t change your signature.

So if something shows up saying you paid for something by face verification and you know you didn’t make the purchase, what recourse do I have? At least with a credit card I can cancel it and get a new one.

Thanks for that. I’m too dumb for that to mean anything to me, but if it pushes those that DO know to discuss it (rather than some of the idiocy I’ve seen posted on this and other threads) all the better.
