Hot Topics: Blockchain for Election Integrity with Nimit Sawhney from Voatz

In this episode of Hot Topics on The Edge of Show, January Jones and once again our new guest co-host Isabel Castro are joined by Nimit Sawhney, co-founder of Voatz, to explore how blockchain is transforming election integrity worldwide.

From the U.S. government shutdown’s impact on crypto regulation to New York’s blockchain election integrity bill and a historic case study in Mexico’s 2024 federal elections, this conversation reveals how trust, transparency, and digital innovation are reshaping democracy.

Key takeaways:

The irony of a government shutdown halting crypto regulation.
