Title: Why Electronic Voting is a BAD Idea - Computerphile
Post by: abelljefrry on December 20, 2014, 05:28:51 am

Computerphile just posted this video about 2 days ago, with a tagline of "why you should vote out anyone who brings e-voting in"

almost reach 60k views.

Just a suggestion, BM, can you write an article in your new blog that explain how FMV and BitShares technology can solve some of this problem (if not all)? Or maybe do a quick interview with Max (BitShares.TV) discussing about this issue.

I mean not a general article/video, but something specifically tailored to respond to this video.

The biggest fallacy is being anti vote selling. 
The second fallacy is believing paper is flawless.
The third fallacy is attacking a straw man and applying it universally. 

A great video to rebut.
