Wow! This might have deeper implications than you imagine.

Have you guys thought about the outcomes for ballot initiatives, or for enterprise sales?

In particular, this kind of tech might have a disruptive impact on the initiative process in California (which costs around $1M-10M in signature-gathering costs to bring something to the voters), and on the enterprise sales cycle (which involves exchange of PDFs between multiple parties, at a lower conversion rate than a streamlined web process).

I doubt a cheaper, easier system for filling the California ballot with propositions will improve things.

(There's a good case much of the current budget mess and general non-accountability of elected officials is the result of constraints added by prior populist initiatives.)
