The most important part of democracy isn't the tally at the end of the decision-making process, but the process itself. I'd like to see more tech work done on the discursive aspects of democracy: not only being able to voice your opinion, but to be able to cross-reference parts of your opinion with factual studies and opposing opinions and aggregate opinions into general feelings on subjects.
Yeah, I know we have Gallup polls. I think we can do better with better tech. I don't have a strong vision for it or I'd be building it myself, but it's something I want to see.
ETA: Not to detract from the current achievement, which is really awesome. It's just the easy part, which is the right thing to take care of first.
