Anyone can verify it, it's totally transparent.

To me, that's a lot more secure than the way we vote right now.

And we've already built it, we've already paid for it, and we're giving it away to anyone who wants to use it for free.

And with a little more work, I think we could do even more.

We could register people to vote on the app.

We could give voters nonpartisan information about candidates or ballot measures, so you actually know what you're voting on.

And versions of this already do exist.

Mobile voting, in a way, exists in Estonia.

They use it in party elections in the UK.

Some municipalities here in Canada use it.

but not in the US and not in most democracies.

And that's where the hard part really kicks in.

Getting politicians to let us use our phones to vote in elections, because in my experience, people in power don't like making it easier for other people to gain power.

And that's ... Yeah, exactly.

And that's why I'm here, because they're not just going to do it if I ask nicely.

They're not just going to do it if I snarl at the Libertarians on X or at the Liberals on Blue Sky.

They're only going to do it if you make it happen, if we all make it happen.

And we can.

Every major right that has ever been won anywhere, the right to vote, the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, same-sex marriage, anything, has only happened because enough people stood up loud enough and long enough and demanded their rights, and eventually the status quo had to give in.

And we can do that here, too.
