Andrew Yang’s terrific TED Talk is now live, on Why US politics is broken – and how to fix it.
Imagine that. As an example, ranked-choice voting has already reformed Alaskan primaries.

Ranked choice + a blockchain based voting system = very large progress potential… Imagine a voting system where every qualified voter gets a wallet pre-loaded with a special coin to "spend" per race/vote/issue…~100% realtime count/audit-able, 100% impossible to double spend, 100% secure…various ways of handling complete or partial anonymity… Throw in HARD term limits for all congressional seats (3 terms house, 2 terms Senate) and key appointed positions (e.g. Supreme court 10 years), and equal representation & voting power for new democratically elected Federal Reserve Board members (e.g., one people’s member for each of the 7 appointed members – and 5 year term limits for both) and we’d really be moving in the right direction.

Reminds me of an essay I wrote 30 years ago: "Digital cash is in some ways an extreme example of digital property — since it cannot be copied, it is possessed by one entity at a time, and it is static and non-perishable. If the techniques for protecting against pilferage and piracy work in the domain of cash, then they can be used to protect other properties…
There are many compelling applications for this, including voter registration, voting tabulation, and the registration of digital artwork originals." — from:
