Well, good, because I couldn't fathom why anyone would want to run an election using blockchain.
Paper ballots with automated scanners is a solved problem. It works, it's cheap, and it's virtually tamper-proof. (Tampering with the result will require physical access by many people: if you allow that possibility you're basically conceding that you cannot trust the government to run the election properly, and using any technology won't save you.)
In other words, paper ballots is a boring, unsexy technology whose only benefit is that it works. No wonder people aren't excited.
