Click your local translate button.

Voting with the blockchain has been discussed before, but this is the first use case I heard about. Hopefully it catches on on a bigger scale.

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

So voter fraud will only require a 51% attack?   Huh
That doesn't seem well suited for an election, but I missed the earlier discussions.
The article says the chain cannot be edited.

Here is a rough spot from the translation:
Block Chain technology can be shaggy , but it is basically out of that decentralizes and democratizes everything from money to organizations.

It just says it's very difficult to change. Same as we are already used to with bitcoin.

51% is relative. There is nothing stopping them from using the bitcoin network itself for this. Just set up a wallet for each candidate and send a satoshi or whatever as your vote. In the event that an actual politi-coin system is made just for voting purposes it will be just as easy to check network statistics as it already is with bitcoin. Also, any fraud will be immediately detectable. Just check if your vote is still where you originally put it.

The direct translation would be "long haired". Basically means it's complicated.

Hairy is the word you're looking for.
