Do you thing he would endorse his picture on this peace of paper?
He would probably sue to have his picture taken off of this!
This doesn’t represent his core values - back then.

3/3
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 @npub1gdu…6nak @npub1a2c…w83a @npub1ahx…5ech and @npub1sg6…f63m.
Eventually some of you would be interested in taking this up?
