Bitcoin Blockchain as an Immutable Election Verification Layer

I see Screven County's use of Bitcoin's blockchain as a practical demonstration of how decentralized, tamper-resistant ledgers can strengthen election verification. Recording cryptographic hashes of results on Bitcoin creates an immutable audit trail that independent observers can verify.

While promising, this should be a verification layer rather than a replacement for voting infrastructure: it improves transparency and post-election audits but does not address ballot privacy or upstream procedural risks. I recommend careful pilots, legal clarity, and public reporting to assess scalability and privacy before broader adoption.
