The USPS Just Filed A Patent For A Blockchain-Based Secure-Voting System
Blockchain.news ^ | 8/17/2020 | Shine Li

In light of the 2020 US presidential elections, Trump admitted to denying funding to the US Postal Service (USPS), despite the mailing service’s proposal on Thursday of a new patent for a blockchain-powered voting system, which would make ballot casting more secure.

President of the United States (POTUS) Donald Trump had been reported by Forbes to have denied USPS’ funding in order to block mail-in voting, sparking rage from Joe Biden’s Democratic Party, who allegedly needs that money sponsoring to keep the post office rolling and the ballots coming.

With all this ongoing, the U.S Patent and Trademark Office presented the USPS’ official patent application, dubbed the “Secure Voting System,” which leverages blockchain technology to securitize the voting process and transmit the incoming ballots more efficiently and quickly.

One has to wonder about the "coincidental timing" of this recently filed patent, IMHO.

If Dems are so concerned about mailboxes, why didn’t they condemn the burning down of Post Offices by BLM terrorists?

In Minneapolis alone, 3 Post Offices were burned to the ground during the “peaceful protests.”

Any version of online / remote voting introduces unacceptable levels of risk for voter fraud. Only in person, with valid government issued id, and both parties constantly monitoring the voting process provides the lowest risk of voter fraud. Even that can be abused without proper controls.

The U.S Patent and Trademark Office presented the USPS’ official patent application, dubbed the “Secure Voting System,” which leverages blockchain technology to securitize the voting process and transmit the incoming ballots more efficiently and quickly.

Trump complained about the patent brought forward by USPS by saying that with a blockchain-leveraged voting system, there would be no confirmation and way to verify whether the voter inscribed on the ballot was actually the one casting the vote. Also, he said that after the ballot was sent, there would be no way to know whether the ballot was tampered with.

Nothing electronic is “secure” because the identity of the sender is assumed to the the voter. The best, most secure voting is done in person, with identification, and then marking - purple finger - to prevent double voting.

Blockchain is supposed to be very good, very secure technology. But I think it is too late, most likely, to roll this out for the 2020 election. Security needs to be meticulously tested, reviewed and re-tested. We don’t need any surprises in its use. and I am naturally suspicious because it came from a government source.

THAT is the way it should be done and needs to be done.

Maxine Waters says Trump is "The Most Deplorable Human Being That I Have Ever Encountered In My Life"-----
wants Section 4--Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution invoked to oust him.

=============================================

Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution ...
Section 4: Vice Presidential–Cabinet declaration

Section 4 is the only part of the Amendment that has never been used.

It allows other executive officials to declare the President unable to do his job.

The Vice President must agree to do this.

The MadMaxiPad should have been locked up years ago.
But since it’s of the “protected species”, it’s given the upper level of “just-us”.
