Blockchain Voting

Your comment is related, though. Right now, we have a representative democracy where a person like you might fall through the cracks because of the place you live. In a future where these technologies are in place, if they are robust enough, we may be able to have a direct democracy where people can vote on every single decision. Of course, that notion sounds a bit unrealistic and perhaps fraught with corruption and exploitation of any loophole, but it could work with zero knowledge cryptography and a host of other technologies that would make every vote incorruptible, immutable, and instant. The more realistic future (and one that I intend to push until I’m blue in the face) is one that is halfway between the two where, elections are impossible to cheat, voting technologies are open and verified, and every person has a vote on important decisions.
