I just read your exchange with Dave Volek, and I find myself squarely between you guys :D
Both of you put forth great ideas, and both do so in a way to influence positive change. I thought from the moment I started reading his work that blockchain technology would be a very good means of maintaining the vote and securing it in a Democratic Tier.
I suspect that both sides of this are not so far apart.
Great article, and as others have said, it's nice to see some optimism.
However, I live in a red state, and I do think you underestimate at least one side's taste for mayhem.
