The following ELECTION INTEGRITY VISION might sound naïve, but eventually it could help conteptualize some future developments:

- I vote with a ballot paper that contains a QR code ("pubic-key").
- When I scan this QR code afterwards with the election app on my mobile device, I can see whether I have voted in the last election.
- When I additionally enter my password (="private key"), I can see how I voted in order if my vote was counted correctly
- Further, I could also check with a broader group (family, community) whether the entries in the "blockchain" correspond to what we all actually voted for.

The revolutionary thing about this approach would be, that it would start a new paradigma in elections:
DON'T TRUST, VERIFY

At this point, I am allowing myself to tag  @saifedean @LynAlden  @Natalie and @jack.
Eventually some of you would be interested in taking this up?
