Why can't we just require the use of Real ID?
Fill out your ballot, put your I'd in a box prepared for it, make 2 copies.
One goes in the ballot box, one is kept for your personal records. An automated verification, with proof.
Because minorities do not have computers, phones, cars, ID of any kind, electricity or running water... duh...

Why are people allowed to line up to buy crap at Walmart...but it's not safe for them to line up to vote?
So vote in person or absentee that's it

In experimental attacks on a reproduction of the
system, we demonstrate how such attackers could target
the election servers or voters’ clients to alter election results
or undermine the legitimacy of the system.
This has been proven to be capable and demonstrated through a real world example using an actual in place blockchain based election system that actually exists.

SHhhh, that goes against the liberal narrative of voter suppression. If I was a minority I would be pissed that the left is assuming I'm not the same as everyone else...That I need a special voter short bus because I can't vote like everyone else.

I'm OK with this and believe it will be the future if secure elections. The technology is proven and should be explored as a means of voting for 3 main reasons:
Security. Once a vote is cast it cannot be changed. The consensus model just won't let you change a vote or double cast a single vote in any given election. It will be counted.
Ensured secrecy through cryptography and a public/private ledger system.
Increased voter participation due to ease of access and identity security through a blockchain based voter ID system.

Because since the Republicans started removing polling stations from everywhere, theres about a hundred Walmarts for every polling place. The lines and wait times are going to be intolerable (which is what Trump is counting on - it is the only way he can come close).
Now if you want to set up every Walmart as a polling place, maybe you would have something a little more do-able.
