This is a really interesting idea and rationale behind it.
After first few paragraphs I asked myself: "What if everybody had an antipode to cancel out hir vote? Then the net result would be null and nobody would be elected."
Later you answered my question with a Smart Ballots scenario and a Rational Battlefield (what a strange pairing of words).
So - do we need / search for an automatic anonymous ballot system with ... smart contracts on the blockchain?
A side note - I see a future where every citizen gets hir personal blockchain wallet and PK with birth to use it for decision casting and reputation and ... many other possibilities-
Ps: Jared?
hahaha, I caught the "Jared" in there too... I wonder how long it was Jared before it was John, and who this will offend. :)
