The original commenter didn’t mention a party, you did. Please don’t purposefully polarise the discussion into a flame war. Whatever system exists won’t be used by “a party” all at once, it will be used by individuals. Any of those, with any political affiliation, can be “the wrong hands”.

I’ll offer a simple definition. The role of government is to serve the greater good of all people, thus the wrong hands are the ones which serve themselves or their own group above all.

Any party with sufficient resources and motive to influence the outcome of an election. Outside of election season, this tech would be very dangerous in the hands of anyone seeking to influence the public for their own gain.

Both? Parties in a democracy aren't supposed to be shepherds of the stupid masses, I know manipulation and misinformation is par for the course on both sides of the aisle, but that's a huge problem. Without informed, capable citizens, democracy dies a slow death.
