Citizens Vote on Bills
The Citizen Representatives in your congressional district pledge to elect a Representative. In exchange, the Representative pledges to follow the majority will of the citizens. The will of the citizens is expressed through a vote. Because the Representative can be assured he or she will be elected (provided they vote with the people), they have less need to raise money outside their district. Who would run against a CitRep Candidate?
Secure, Open-Source, Verifiable
The voting system will be secure, open-source, and verifiable. Few things are more important than the security of the vote. A public, identifiable, but anonymized ledger is essential for people to trust the vote. The vote will be secure. The code will be open for people to see. Your votes will be anonymous, but verifiable.
More informed Voters, Better Polling
By involving citizens in the legislative process, they will by necessity become more informed. As any "Man on the Street" segment on comedy programs will show, there is much room for improvement in the civic knowledge of many citizens. Polling has seeming become politicized and seen as more of a way to influence votes instead of getting accurate ideas about candidates and issues. The CitReps system will help.
