Every system needs an authority to organize it, yes, but authority and verification do not have to be the same thing. A government could still run elections while the verification layer remains public and mathematically provable. Testing could happen in smaller civic or international contexts before official adoption.
You’re right that digitalizing a working system isn’t revolutionary by itself, but the point isn’t hype or “crypto bro” novelty. The goal is a trust model that doesn’t collapse when the authority running it does. It’s about resilience, not replacement.
So you started out with “NFT based voting systems could bring fair elections to democratically challenged regions” and are now at “NFT based voting systems could build resilience for elections”. You do realize how much you moved the goal post here, don’t you?
Democratic resilience does not mean a blockchainification of voting systems. Democratic resilience depends on an engaged society, the defense of civil and human rights and vigilant democrats. And education, of course.
