Another problem is that cryptographic votes can easily be sold or stolen
- we already have massive ballot harvesting, for example everyone in
every old person's home in a county, by amazing coincidence, applying
for an absentee ballot at the exact same time, different people in
different nursing homes all happen to take action simultaneously.

How is someone in an old person's home going to secure their
cryptographic keys?

Of course this would not be a problem with sovereign corporations,
because a share is a vote controlling assets, and you are supposed to be
able to buy and sell your vote.

I like Moldbug's idea of sovereign corporation whose product is the
protection of people and assets.

Democracies have a long and disastrous history.  They work for a little
while, work great, unlike socialism where people usually start going
hungry the second harvest after socialism was instituted.

But they end horribly, with a mob of degenerates on welfare being
manipulated by the shapers of public opinion, and eventually who is in
charge is actually settled by frequent violence, rather than by voting.
