Reply #14: Geeks know how to make it secure; but they've been kept out. [View All]

There are ways to make internet communications provably secure. Its just that the
crooks who are running e-voting made sure to avoid those ways. And the public
is so tech-illiterate they bought the BS. The Australians already have Open Source
e-voting technology that went through a national public contest. This can be
done.

Another aspect of a huge number of legislatures is that it costs 100x as much to
bribe them all. Even corporations would balk. Plus, with smaller number of voters
per district, it would fast become clear who is shilling for the corporations. Anonymity
would go down.

I agree completely about land. My proposal has much to say about it.

Not quite sure your definition of "universal individual democracy". We must have
"representatives". We must have abstraction layers. The world is way too complex
to have everyone aware of every issue. The lobbyists win all the time that way.

Thanks again.
