Hi, In many places on Earth, "voting" and "fraud" are close to being synonimous. If we don't set up a control that makes each person to be worth one and only one vote, we could just set up a polling gadget in our webpage - and let the robots vote as often as they please. If I were to decide, I would define such web of trust as people signed directly by a DD - Maybe two hops away, but that's probably extending it too much beyond what we know to be true.
