The USPS Just Filed A Patent For A Blockchain-Based Secure-Voting System
The U.S Patent and Trademark Office presented the USPS’ official patent application, dubbed the “Secure Voting System,” which leverages blockchain technology to securitize the voting process and transmit the incoming ballots more efficiently and quickly.
Trump complained about the patent brought forward by USPS by saying that with a blockchain-leveraged voting system, there would be no confirmation and way to verify whether the voter inscribed on the ballot was actually the one casting the vote. Also, he said that after the ballot was sent, there would be no way to know whether the ballot was tampered with.

Holy merde.
I think Trump is baiting the idiot dems again. They will clamor for blockchain voting.
By the time they realize what's happened, it will be too late.
partly relevant article here, states that for instance in Washington, more people used dropboxes for ballots than mail boxes. “Washington state has nearly 450 election dropboxes, which more voters relied on than the U.S. mail in the August primary.” Not sure what it is for other states?
There’s also a short video showing a high-speed mail sorting machine that looks, just from the buttons, about 90 million years old. So maybe not so ‘high speed’ as the name implies. These machines are being removed, likely to replace with newer models. And they’re doing it at a time when business mail is way down and so time-effective to do it now.
