The problem with polling is getting a representative sample of the target population, which this doesn't address any of the problems with, and there is no IP-based geolocation method that is accurate enough to reliably place a user in a particular congressional district even if they aren't doing something like using a VPN. There’s a couple major markets where it will probably be unreliable as to state, as well as Congressional district.

> Internet-based voting. About time or never gonna happen?

What problem is this envisioned as solving?
