I agree it has some problems. For now, it is mostly a UX proof-of-concept and probably not how an official poll should be conducted.

Its core mission is to legitimize all candidates on the ballot. This is something caucuses and ranked-choice voting can do, but since our general elections don't work this way, I wonder if the voting experience could be augmented from the private sector. (Of course, efforts to change how our actual elections work is still worthwhile and can be pursued in parallel).

Basically, if enough people (millions) were to use an app like this to meta-vote before committing to a single actual vote, we could simulate alternative voting processes without government involvement.
