Liquid Democracy, Smart Voting, and Itero with Rachael Colley

Liquid democracy is a voting system that allows voters to choose to either vote directly on an issue or delegate their voting power to another voter. Rachael Colley and I discuss the pros and cons of liquid democracy and her extension Smart Voting which allows voters to cast more complex and expressive votes. We finish with discussing an interactive voting platform she created called Itero.
