counts can't be real-time or even time-stamped because of secret ballot.
the software on the scanner would have to be verified. there would be many ways to do this. no networking, and no drive in the scanner (or scanners if you get your way) until all parties are present.
if you wanted to partially get rid of secret ballot you could provide the voter with the hash so that they could view their ballot whenever they wanted.
The whole point of this conversation is that 2 idiots on a white power site can have this discussion and come to a working white paper in a day. People who do this as an occupation could for sure do it in 4 years, but instead we have unauditable, corrupt, crap.

Yes but what I’m saying is there needs to be redundancy in counting. All of what you are suggesting is implying one authority maintains making sure all these rules are followed.
My suggestion doesn’t even need most of these actually because you don’t HAVE to make sure each individual counting authority is not rigging their count. If their count doesn’t match the others, the counts are nulled. That inherently forces them all to report the real count.

I’m not seeing ANYONE advocating vote counting redundancy. And until I do I will assume they are supporting rigged elections.
i would say that released images is the redundancy. I am not against multiple scanners, but the more friction you add to the process the more issues you have.
i just haven't seen a valid conversation about elections. they throw around buzz terms like blockchain, but they obviously havne't thought too hard about things (or have low understanding.
It’s not adding friction in a serial way but in a parallel way. If a vote counting party doesn’t show up with their scanner then “no big deal”.
All ballots to the net is almost all the redundancy we need, but it still implies only one authority is providing them.
