⚡🔐 The International Association of Cryptologic Research held an election.
They used a hyper-secure 3-key decryption system.
One official lost their key.
They can't decrypt their own votes.
These are the world's top cryptographers. The people who DESIGN these systems. And they still couldn't make it work.
If the experts can't run a secure online election, nobody can.
Online voting is a solved problem: it can't be done. Not reliably. Not at scale. Not even with cryptography.
My core belief: if it's not redundant, it doesn't exist. Paper ballots are redundant. Hand counts are redundant. A secret key on one person's laptop is not.
Keep it simple. Keep it physical. Keep it human.
