What If We Use Blockchain to Elect The Next President?

The US electoral system (and its democracy) need a 'fixing' in the US elections, writes Frida Ghitis. She asks whether the blockchain could have at least brought transparency and certainty into these elections. Ghitis: Paper ballots are still the norm and for a good reason, they are the safest and time tested option. But the risks for fraud then scale up rapidly, Ghitis says. The benefits of technology should be carefully weighted against the risks of fraud, she says.
