Aren't they Russian elections though?

A bad actor can steal the voting tokens, and decide the vote. Even without that, I can't assume that the voters are aligned to my interests



>A bad actor can steal the voting tokens, and decide the vote. Even without that, I can't assume that the voters are aligned to my interests

Right, but all those attacks are harder to pull off and more visible than what the parent implied (ie. someone can unilaterally make changes without anyone finding out). Like I said in my previous comment, there are many issues with smart contracts, but the objection raised by OP is just really badly conceived.

>Even without that, I can't assume that the voters are aligned to my interests

This seems like an impossible demand to me. What type of system (democratic/non-democratic, crypto/non-crypto) ensures that the decision made will always align with everyone's interests?
