    There shouldn't be any significant vulnerabilities to begin with, and the only way that can be ensured is if there is rigorous public examination of the machines and the code they use.

Open-source blockchain code solves all of this. I'd want to see it independently verified by the EFF, ACLU, etc. before trusting it though.

It's 2015, there's absolutely no reason I still need to be physically present to cast a ballot. That there is such a large gap still remaining between technology and policy-making scares me.
