VOTING PROBLEMS: Paper ballots are essential to election security, but slow to count and prone to costly disputes, while electronic voting is fast to count, but vulnerable to hacking and risks compromising voter anonymity. What if we could have the best of both?

VOTING PROBLEMS:  Paper ballots are essential to a secure voting system because they provide a tamper-evident trail and thwart large-scale ballot tampering, but the counting method  (by hand or by scanner)  is  slow, prone to inaccuracies, vulnerable to manipulation, minimally transparent, unable to give voters confirmation that their ballot was included in the count, and  often results in disputes, costly and time-consuming audits, court cases, and destabilizing delays in voting results; meanwhile electronic voting is fast to count, but risks compromising voter anonymity and is vulnerable to hacking that is large-scale and potentially undetectable. 

VOTING SOLUTION:  PaperBallotchain pairs paper ballots and blockchain technology to provide the first-ever cryptographically-verifiable, voter-verifiable, yet still anonymous, near-instant-count, paper-ballot voting system.

VOTING SOLUTION:  PaperBallotchain  pairs paper ballots and blockchain technology to provide  the first-ever cryptographically-verifiable, voter-verifiable, yet still anonymous vote-casting system  and the first-ever fully transparent, perfectly accurate, near instantaneous, and publicly-verifiable vote-counting system—solving the critical technical vulnerabilities of blockchain voting  described by MIT and blockchain experts that have justifiably caused them to strenuously warn against blockchain voting. 

(This system holds both the credibility and innovation of a patent:  Patent No. 12132827)
