The USA has created a political currency - each vote in Congress, (both houses) is a visible and countable action. This means it can be monetized, and it has been by bags of cash, trips to foreign shores and by many other ways thought up by creative lobbyists - such as wire transfers to Swiss banks. This is the unforeseen consequence of allowing the voter to hold his representative accountable to him/her. Sadly, it has brought the USA the worst of all abuse. Why not allow the vote to be private? Just give each representative a button and this goes to a simple counter that accumulates the total votes cast. It will be unhackable - a self contained system without connection to any network, and includes a 'vote once' latch to stop voting twice. We need to remove the representatives from all forms of bribery by this simple demonetization.
