BBC had a moment when the guy (who? I forget) laughed out loud, "nailing it" about the USA not even being able to count votes as well as a 3rd world banana republic.
tbh i have mixed feelings though. State bureaucracy is shite, but it’s *reassuringly* shite. Governments with blockchains are the proverbial monkeys with machine guns.
True, yes. The problem with "votes" is fundamental: Votes always criminalize whoever the candidate/party/proposition needs to tax/incarcerate. Votes always criminalize someone.
