SINCE ELECTION DAY: Democrats Pick Off Over a Dozen GOP House Seats and 2 Senate Seats… And They’re Going for More
Voting should be independently verifiable. Blockchain based. It should take place between noon and 12:15pm.
If there is no innovation that can make voting independently verifiable, democracy is obsolete.
..or, it must revert to 75 or so people who all know each other electing a rep to join 74 others they all know to elect a rep, to join 74 others to elect a rep, and so on, until 75 people vote for someone they all personally know.
According to Dunbar #, we can all handle approx 150 relationships. This means that each voting group would consist of half, or less, of 150, to elect a rep to join half, or less, of 150, and be responsible for knowing ≤148 others.
Democracy can't scale forever without independently verifiable elections.

Ballots need to be number, and location sequenced and can only be used at the assigned polling place. Must have name and time the voter was verified as registered and presented a valid picture ID that matches the information on the registration. Ballot can only be scanned by the machine which is designated for the same location as the ballot is designated. Ballot scanners at the polling place need to time, location and sequence stamp ballots entered. Ballot, not in the machine, not within time limit, not proper location, no vote! No provisional ballots period. You register proper and take responsibility for showing up at the proper polling place. Any bank or person who forecloses on a polling place the night before the election and locks up the building with the voting equipment inside will be prosecuted for grand theft and tampering with an election.
