The Problem
- “The 2020 Federal election was a fraud!”
- The United States is deemed as one of the most powerful first world countries, but ranks 31st globally for voter participation — only 67% of our population votes which is one of the best turnouts of all time
- Why — because of security, accessibility, and efficiency
- What if we could use the immutability of the blockchain to ensure votes are counted and not tampered with.
- But does the immutability alone solve the problem? What if the same person used two separate crypto wallets (metamask account) to log two votes. The way to stop this would be to have everyone come to a voting center. But is that really solving any problems

Global Magnitude
This solution can be applied to developing countries with even more voter fraud
- Smart phones are becoming more ubiquitous around developing countries so access to voting can become easy
- India, for instance, is notorious for voter fraud which is something that can be addressed with a solution that allows anyone with a smart phone to vote in their election in a secure and efficient manner.
- Fraudulent voting in developing countries are a huge issue with corruption so this solution allows an equitable environment for voting
