This is probably the first non-currency use of block chain that actually made my stop and reconsider the eye-roll I had locked and loaded.

I like the idea of votes essentially sitting in a public ledger. They can be independently tallied by anyone.

You walk into a voting booth and get IDd. They hand you a random QR code token, pre-printed, not tied to your identity.

You place your vote. It can publically write your state/county maybe city information, vote, keyed by your QR token.

I can take my QR to any third party to verify my vote was correct and got tallied.
