Nimit Sawhney, CEO, Voatz, a Boston based start-up in the mobile voting space, talks about their innovative approach to secure mobile voting using blockchain and the camera in the mobile device to provide biometric data to verify identity of the voter.  With the ability to produce a printable marked ballot, this approach may be a way to satisfy election officials while including more voters in the process thanks to easy accessibility for all including those serving in the military overseas and the disabled.
