Good Enough Voter Verification & Other Identity Architecture Schemes...
summary
Argues a pragmatic identity stack: use PayPal verification crossed with the Washington state voter database to get roughly an 80% voter match, hold the matched data only in memory and emit a triple-flag memory verification (voter authenticated, district, username) without storing addresses or SSNs, and fall back to peer-authenticating physical tokens or disposable QR/key artifacts (Bluetooth bump, one‑time QR) for offline checks; code is minimal so far but prototypes show feasibility and far lower cost/risk than centralized ID stores.
