I've seen a voting system built on bitcoin - forgot the name, though. It looked perfect. I think they said they're trying to get Guatemala to use it. Doing direct voting obsoletes the nation state. There's no good reason for the vote of someone outside of your community to have any bearing on your community. Small communities will have to become fully sovereign - and I'm all for that. No more empires, no more capital cities.

This would be great when all small minigovernments of small groups would start existing. Small communes that selfgovern and interact with other communities freely. But up to now I do not have a concept how they could free themselves from the current nation state, since every piece of land in this earth belongs currently to a nation state.
