Hey kids! Did you know that Bitcoin, a type of cryptocurrency, can be used to make sure voting is fair and honest? In Williamson County, Tennessee, a local Republican party election used a cool new system to record its results. This system makes it super hard for anyone to cheat!
- A special company called Simple Proof used Bitcoin's blockchain (like a super secure digital ledger) to record the election results.
- This makes it nearly impossible to change the results after they're recorded.
- The election used a mix of machine and hand-counting to make sure everything was accurate.
- One group, Elevate, won all the leadership positions.
