If you don't trust your election process, you might decide the cure is to (securely) verify your exact vote on the other side. BUT if you allow this, votes can be proven—and thus bought. *Trust is essential.* Undermining it harms democracy. If you see this, ask yourself: Cui Bono?

Quick reminder for our cleverest billionaires: Authoritarian regimes tend to stagnate economically as talent is stifled, resources are appropriated, and investment risk grows. If you value your engine of success, consider accepting sacrifices today to preserve democracy tomorrow.

Part of the empirical value of term limits is that corrupt officials lose their power and ability to protect themselves from consequences, isn't it? Seems useful to me. But I've long believed that voters will need to be the ones to implement them by voting against long incumbents. I usually do.
