How does the system know that you, personally, created that unique address? How does it know if John Q. Democrat created it for you, before you had a chance?

How does it know that someone didn’t create a program to flood the system with unvoted voter IDs an hour before polls closed, conveniently for just one candidate?

Despite the lack of un8form ID laws, physical in-person voting with ID (with purple finger dye to identify those who have voted) will always outstrip any form of online voting.

I do not trust the un-auditable electronic machines, either. No audit record, no security.

Optical scanners can be pre and post audited using a known sample of ballots.

Wait...the Post Office is going to count the votes?
How can the feds count votes when that is a state function?

Possibly available for the 2040 election .

That will also be when the Quantum Computers can break the blockchain encoding .

Yeah - use a 300K strong, pro-Biden, anti-Trump set of union workers to process the votes....not even a smidgen of potential fraud....

Even if the code for this was frozen right now, it's too late to properly deploy with the election just a few months away.

The people pushing this know this.

Blockchain is a virtual IT technology.

Mail in ballots are physical things. I fail to see the connection.

Nor would I trust the USPS to be on the cutting edge of developing anything high-tech. It’s sort of like trusting the tellers at your local bank to prepare your next gourmet meal.

While I generally agree, just as we don’t know how far along the code was when they filed for the patent, I don’t think we know whether the code might long ago have been frozen, in time to be deployed in the next 15 days, do we?

But I suspect you’re right, the code won’t be able to be operational for any number of reasons within the next several weeks. (It’d really already be needed—now!)

The money “requested” (nay, demanded, with a high-decibel screech) by the Democrats is basically pay-off money to sweeten the pot for their postal union workers. THAT’s what the Dems need to fund to show their power to cover fraud.

The flow of new money can more easily be “explained” than a blast of hey-where’d-that-money-come-from!?
