Can software replace Congress?

Answer: One start-up is trying

A California-based company called PlaceAVote is attempting to empower the public by replacing the nation’s elected representatives with a software system that votes on every bill according to how the public votes on issues through the PlaceAVote website, Motherboard reported.

Many have pointed out the flaws and potential pitfalls of such a system, but with Congress’ approval rating now in the single digits, almost any change would likely be welcomed by the public.
