    That can never work because the incentive to manipulate that system and then claim the results are fair because of it’s theoretical power of accountability, which it was sold on, cannot be broken and therefore we MUST accept the results is too great.

    The moment someone cracks it, they become the new lords. Same problems as the current system.

    Paper doesn’t have this problem, because you can see the paper. You can count paper with machines, but you can also verify with humans and - importantly - humans without PHDs.

      That literally never happened. He simply told people what they wanted to hear and told them who to blame for all of their issues. Those being easily verifiable lies didn’t make a difference to enough people.

      There wasn’t a high tech exploit, or even a low tech exploit. Just the human exploit. The same thing that results in 99% of technology “hacks”, social engineering. The human is always the weakest link.
