Buterin Calls for Anonymous Voting

[cryptobro]

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is advocating for the use of zero-knowledge (ZK) cryptography to enable secret-ballot voting in governance and judicial systems. His proposal comes after South Carolina Judge Diane Goodstein’s home was burned amid threats linked to her election ruling. Buterin argues that anonymity can protect judges, lawmakers, and even international bodies like the UN from retaliation, while maintaining accountability through cryptographic verification.

Vitalik’s push for anonymity makes sense — transparency with privacy is key.
