I believe it is necessary to include more information about the different kinds of voting offered through technology, such as Quadratic voting, and also speak about the different political apps that we analyzed in class, such as PopVox, CloakRoom, or Councilmatic. Technology has grown (whether we like it or not) to play an integral role in politics, whether that is through voting, campaigning, or just basic awareness, and I believe that this article in particular should be edited to be a stronger article to reflect those rapid changes. Congress was unable to keep up with a lot of the technological advancements of current day, which lead to the Facebook case that was seen everywhere on national news. There is constant threat of misinformation spreading in the political sphere. Blockchain technology is slowly rising to play a bigger and bigger role in keeping information secure and decentralizing information in politics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mervitan (talk • contribs) 06:41, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
