How about a vocal vote spoken to a computer taking the vote. The computer can recognize the person by voice and sight as well as lodge the vote on the blockchain. This way, anyone who can speak can vote. There would have to be some other way for the mute... but this may work?

Of course Xerox or Oracle or Accenture or Deloitte or SAP would hire a smaller company to do it for them, but they would have the bid under their name. It's like Contractors, and a lot of it comes out of the Middle East and Far East.

It would probably have to be combined with traditional voting to ensure that everyone could do it, since some people can't even use AOL. But it could maybe work. They would just have to find a way to maybe put the traditional votes on the Blockchain and connect the wallet type Profiles with DMV records like they do with Voter Registration now.

Xerox or Oracle or Accenture or Deloitte or SAP could do it.

Here is a Health Insurance Exchange (HIX) bid that Accenture won.

Yes, it is a very good idea, even for unofficial parallel elections, as a test of concept.

Would it be possible to vote on the blockchain? Could this be a way to control election fraud?

If possible, what are the Pros and Cons?
