Internet voting is very difficult.  For example, what is a person on the internet?  Are you going to be tied to an identity (not anom)? Or a ip address (not anom and can use more than 1)?

With crypto currencies, two solutions have been implemented

PoW - give proof with work, so more work -> more votes

PoS - give proof with money, more money -> more votes

Tieing power to people is an old/flawed idea.

Bitcoin will allow us to tie power to power (bitcoins).
