New Democratic Primary

Provably secure online primary for President. Ranked choice, many options. Made by security engineers annoyed about the lack of choice this year in the real one

ICYMI: The New Democratic Primary is a vigilante effort by some security engineers who got fed up with the lack of options this year and decided to run a Democratic primary ourselves. We hope it will inspire the @DNC to have a more open process in the month before the nomination

Just a small glimpse at what elections could look like, if we had the will... More transparent, private, and auditable with cryptography; more representative and fair with Ranked Robin voting. It's already possible!

You can now verify the Primary results for yourself! No need to trust us at all -- we provide (anonymous) proof of citizenship for each voter, plus you can confirm that your vote is in the final tally (without anyone else being able to trace it to you).

Stay tuned for the fully interactive and publicly auditable results, coming soon!

For those curious, results from all 230 voters, verified and unverified -- very similar outcome:

Shoutout also to the most common write in: Josh Shapiro

Despite and early and unexpected end to the primary last week with Harris rapidly securing a majority of delegates, we still had 230 people vote before polls closed. Final results are in: Gretchen Whitmer won!

Verifiable results attached, and more data in thread >

[New Democratic Primary @newUSprimary]

Over 10% of voters completed full passport verification, meaning we can prove these results came from unique US citizens. An incredibly strong guarantee for a vote conducted for free over the internet

[New Democratic Primary @newUSprimary]

An officially sanctioned second primary with all the options was the ideal outcome all along

We hope the Party realizes the people still want a voice though

A new primary is possible.

It would take one week, a fraction of the usual cost, and require zero local coordination. It’s been done at the State level already. Democracy is still an option. (details 🧵)

[New Democratic Primary @newUSprimary]

Looks like we're going to need a new primary...

And finally, if you don't like these results, then vote! Closes in 6 days:

Day one unofficial results are in! @gretchenwhitmer and @PeteButtigieg with a solid lead. Sample size is still small (137 as of last night), but growing.

Several more breakdowns in thread, plus a link to vote if you don't like the current results...

[New Democratic Primary @newUSprimary]

At the end of the election we'll release the full anonymized audit log so everyone can verify the results for themselves (and make more charts), without being able to trace back how any individual person voted. Better elections are already possible!
