Private keys don't add much to voting. It's the same issue that blockchain people tried to apply their chain to voting. It's cool. But it doesn't solve much.

The govt agency in charge of "verification" would just become suddenly extremely powerful. No way to sprinkle cryptography & suddenly make centralized shitcoin like architechture fair & just.

The IRS logs would be the verification needed. Right? How is the verification done today? How powerful are those processes and who's running them now? Couldn't each verified social security number be directed to "Nostrlection" the Election Client, to open their election account? We'd all need to know the relays charged with the vote..Would we have election relays or does that even matter? I'm spit balling here as you can probably tell, but it just seems there has to be a process. What you say about verification is definitely something to brain storm over, but somehow I keep coming back to the one social security number, one public/private key. We're all registered right now to vote.. The problem is, so is my dead uncle!! What kind of steps would we need to make this happen? Thanks for the thoughts. Nostr is amazing..

Local district managers check a list. IDs are not checked in most places & Dems have worked hard to make voter ID laws sounds terrible, but that with hand counting & all paper ballets would be the best way to keep things as honest as they can be. But we have seen that even the people involved locally can be convinced they are saving the world by cheating the results. Currently voting machine manufacturers have a ton of power behind the scenes. It seems that they sell outcomes to the highest bidders for the regions that have electronic voting.
