Hmm.. a vote system which is literally requires votes to be bought and paid for?
&Why bitcoin specifically when there's dozens of other cryptocoin ledger systems? Surely not marketing for BTC 'investors'.

Borda Vote Count Method:
Potential for tactical manipulation
Tactical voting
Like many other voting systems, the Borda count is vulnerable
to tactical voting. In particular, it is highly vulnerable
to the tactics of compromising and burying. Compromising:
voters can benefit by insincerely raising the position of
their second choice candidate over their first choice
candidate, in order to help the second choice candidate to
beat a candidate they like even less. Burying: voters can
help a more-preferred candidate by insincerely lowering the
position of a less-preferred candidate on their ballot.
An effective tactic is to combine these two strategies.
For example, if there are two candidates whom a voter
considers to be the most likely to win, the voter can
maximise his impact on the contest between these front
runners by ranking the candidate whom he likes more in
first place, and ranking the candidate whom he likes
less in last place. If neither front runner is his
sincere first or last choice, the voter is employing
both the compromising and burying tactics at once; if
many voters employ such strategies, then the result will
no longer reflect the sincere preferences of the
electorate.
As for open source voting software/projects, I'd recommend Liquid Feedback:
