The message in the episode is probably not that everything is great in the blockchain world, because you're right, there are lots of explits and lots of forks. Lots of what blockchain is doing involves building mistakes on mistakes.
It's possible that blockchain is simply more exposed, because there's so much to gain from an attack, and absolutely no security through obscurity. I think it's also hard to deny that the speed with which the community can respond to many of these problems is improved by how reproducible everything needs to be by design.
It will be possible to use ElectionGuard as the core of optical scan systems. This will give end to end verifiability properties on the recording and counting mechanisms.
