I think we have the technology to create something like the DemoPol that was so despised in Frank Herbert's DOSADI EXPERIMENT, or the Delphi polls in Brunner's THE SHOCKWAVE RIDER. I don't think we have the technology to secure it from being hijacked by hackers, super-rich manipulators like Soros, Wyss, and Musk, and just plain thugs. Perhaps in this instance we need to go backwards, to a restricted franchise where voters show up on one day to put their choices down on paper and stick them in the ballot box.
