Maybe the Problem Isn’t Technology—It’s the Waiting Room

We can secure the part where everyone pretends it’s “just logistics”: encrypted, protected, tamper-proof, legally binding—verified, instant, identity confirmed. Then we get to laws, and suddenly it’s all “too complicated,” “not ready,” and “not how it works,” like your ballot is waiting in a legislative waiting room guarded by lobbyist/big-money influence.

Maybe the problem isn’t technology. Maybe it’s the middlemen—because if democracy needs handlers, then “verification” becomes permission slips, and the delay just becomes a job benefit.
