The Internet of Voting

Of course I'm doing a political post.  But don't be too afraid, I promise not to talk about candidates or emails or actual politics.  But I will talk about issues.  One issue: Electronic Voting.

The Ideal

Imagine a world where we drop the 'Representative' out of 'Representative Democracy.'  All issues are submitted to the population for a vote.  We all get a notification on our device of choice, read up on the issue and submit our choice.  We all get an actual say in the direction our city, county, state/province and country goes.

Heck, why stop at country.  Trade agreements, sanctions and UN resolutions could go world wide to everyone and a real 'Will O' the People' could be enacted.  Everyone would have a say.  There would be no arguments about secret cabals controlling everything.  It would be beautiful.  #dogsandcatssleepingtogether
