RE: Thoughts on Voting as a consensus mechanism
The solution to this problem is something known as the borda voting system, in which, instead of choosing one thing over the other, voters rank all choices. So basically, the winner is the one who has the most support from the highest percentage of voters,not a slim majority that gets there way.
That sounds exactly like the current approach to appointing a Steem witness. Thanks for sharing, wasn't aware of it.
