@surikowsrepanuk There's movement in the US toward blockchain voting in West Virginia - https://www.coindesk.com/west-virginia-to-offer-blockchain-voting-statewide-in-midterm-elections/ and in Sumatra with Horizon State - http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-24/blockchain-innovators-seek-to-disrupt-indonesian-electoral-fraud/10025900

What are your thoughts?
