gollark: I think the biggest issue is that any system doing it is either going to have a central authority or some sort of web-of-trust-y federated model, and it might be possible for some groups to just completely discard votes from people they don't like.
gollark: Decentralized vote counting is... nontrivial, but probably possible.
gollark: You *can* do direct democracy.
gollark: Distributed systems design is hard even when you can trust all the things involved.
gollark: Approximately. I think you need some sort of central resolution for *some* things.
