Not really. I think you're making an assumption that the primary
use of electronic voting will be to replace paper techniques
used for National Governments and their minions.

Other entities also need to make decisions. Companies,
SIGs, Open Source software projects -- and new groups
will form, once mass ePolitic is as much a reality
as mobile phones and eMail. I guess that's still down
the track -- but frankly I couldn't care less if the
dinosaurs adopt it or not.
