Bitcoin Anchoring Strengthens Election Verification — Promising Pilot, Not a Panacea

I see Screven County's use of Bitcoin's blockchain to verify election results as a practical proof-of-concept for decentralized, tamper-resistant verification.

The immutability and public audit trail provided by Bitcoin can increase transparency and make manipulation harder to conceal, though it does not address voter privacy or every chain-of-custody risk.

I believe this approach merits cautious expansion through controlled pilots that combine blockchain anchoring with strong procedural and legal safeguards.
