This is AMAZING!!!! This is fantastic news!!! It's like the Lord answered my prayers @farmer.ace. During the previous elections in South Africa i asked an official directly if he believes that we should have a system whereby votes can be recorded instantaneously and distributed to the community in real time. Thank you Jesus!!!

Hey I followed you just because your level of enthusiasm mirrors mine!! I hope that more countries take this as a sign because I do feel like the future of elections and a fully democratic process is in blockchain tech. Happy Steeming :)

@farmer.ace. I'm speechless. I can't tell you how much this means to me. Been thinking about it all day now..
