From the very beginning of the merger, most people were leery of Follow My Vote... Most didn't see it as being easily monetized or solving a problem that needed to be solved. If voter fraud or establishment tampering was a huge problem, Trump never would have been elected. 99% of people have no problems with the current system, which makes it much less likely for any voting reform to happen.
FMV touted that they were meeting with California officials and made it sound like they were seriously being considered for an alternative voting platform. Didn't they alos meet with people called the "Pirate Party". For all the so called "connections" made (which seems to be the excuse for most blockchain projects blowing through investor cash, ie Muse) there is nothing to show for it. My guess is the "connections" were mere informal greetings that were built up by the project leaders as a way to keep investor confidence. FMV was again a tool used by CNX/I3 to wrangle more cash from BTS investors... It was either dilute and pay FMV or we walk.
