The governments could use block chain technology for elections. Then within seconds any claim of rigged elections would be defeated.

The people who believe the 2020 US election was rigged were fine with the outcome of the 2016 election. None of this had anything to do with election integrity, and everything to do with not liking the outcome of the election.

Has nothing to do with wanting to improve security, clarity, and misinformation.

Unclear why ypu downvoted me, but I will return the favor.

Because no amount of evidence will make the mob believe that elections in the West are fair. That's why I downvoted you.

We could try your utopian blockchain plan, and hard core Trumpers would still cry foul until he was president again, even if they had to cheat to get him there.

That may be true. But it would be the hardest evidence available. Every voter would have a cryptographic key when they register. You could see every invididual vote, see how canidates faired by age, sex, and location. It is basically indisputable.

I do agree that some people will never accept the truth no matter how many facts are presented.
