I am unsure how the people enforce the open protocol. It can work with money because people use money for non-government purposes, but for something like voting the government isn't forced to use the popular solution.

I agree, I think crypto stuff, money, comms, id, contracts, voting, etc. should built to work with government, not against it. That said Government shouldn't be in involved in writing it. The temptation to build in tools is too great. Then once they have them, to use them.
