Is it enough to meaningfully resist election fraud?
A new patent has been filed by the U.S. Postal Service, or USPS, following recent comments from President Donald Trump concerning the mail service's funding in light of his fight against mail-in voting.
The patent appears to use Blockchain technology to make mail-in voting a safe alternative to physical polling stations amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"This developement releates to a voting system that also incorporates the use of cryptographic elements, such as blockchains, as are used with cryptographic currencies, to track and secure the vote by mail system," said a patent filing, dated Aug. 13, 2020.
COVID-19 still remains a global hot topic as the 2020 U.S. presidential elections draw closer.
As a result, mail-in voting has also surfaced as a point of contention among members of the country's political parties.
Trump opposes the movement, and has posited the idea of withholding further USPS funding in light of the situation, a CNBC article said.
