Thanks for posting! Big props to hero delegates who stand up and refuse to play when they see corruption.
And yes I am free, to report on and run elections with as much accountability as I like.
And you are free to pay no attention to the results.

On a more serious note, I offer a token reward coin to anybody who can set up a verifialble block chain voting site along these lines:
1 coin = 1 vote (or 10^8 votes if you prefer)
votes are submitted as signed text (proving coin ownership) with message including candidate name in agreed format
votes publicly verifiable (visible on a website from a text database)
One somewhat tricky part is making sure there is no "double voting" which will require some basic "taint analysis" to make sure new votes arriving do not represent outputs of previously voted coins. Other than that, I would imagine this to be a week long project for someone who has set up online wallets or block chain explorers.
