This is a fantastic exploration of one set of concerns with candidate voting systems.
I am personally most concerned about the ability for a result to be verifiably correct in any voting system. As far as I can tell, most aspects of this have been solved with cryptography, but the progress on doing so in the largest and most important elections is zero or negative.
Once we have a verifiable system, the options expand greatly. Candidate representative voting is not the only option. For instance, poll voting becomes possible. Delegation voting can become more specific to topic area. One idea I’ve been thinking about is interest voting, where each voter registers an interest area and is randomly selected to to something like jury duty.
