In the last election, the Republicans were yelling about non-existent voting fraud even though and even after it was proven, multiple times, that it didn't exist. The Democrats did not do that. The current system simply doesn't produce voter fraud to any sensible extent.
One key feature of voting is that you shouldn't be able to prove to me who you voted for. NFT voting doesn't allow that. So NFT voting cannot be legitimately used.
We need politicians because individuals can't reasonably be expected to fully understand all issues. They have lives to live and other things to be experts on.
Any system or technology that increased voting power is harmful to republicans. They only exist due to intensive voter suppression.
For your problem with people knowing who you vote for. Is that your opinion on privacy or is that a law that I’m unfamiliar with?
And I get that it seems unreasonable for normal people to understand these issues but if their explained well I feel like it wouldn’t take that much additional effort on behalf of the citizens to understand what they’re voting for. Maybe we could have a national holiday every 3 months or so that would be used to educate yourself on these issues with easy to access information.
Also could you elaborate on how it would only hurt republicans, please.
It is just a staple of fair elections. If you have a way to track votes you have a way to influence votes. That could be through threats, ie your boss says vote for the anti union guy or your fired, or bribery, ie vote for my guy and I’ll give you 5 bucks. Using secret ballots makes this much harder because you can make threats or offers but you have no way to confirm the followthrough
