**2020**

- [3709041-025](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3709041-025) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Blockchain voting solutions require political will as well as technical capability, and incumbent governments may refuse to surrender control over the voting process, preferring private blockchains that preserve their control.
  > Yet, governments in the existing representative democracies may not wish to surrender control over the voting process and may prefer to use private blockchains to facilitate voting outcomes.

- [3808867-018](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3808867-018) [mechanism/argued] -- Microdemocracy's key advantage is the speed of change it can initiate: because technology permits incorruptible instantaneous counting and tallying of votes, voting becomes dynamic and incremental and political will is exercised more directly.
