> Blockchains are inherently public

The vote is public, yes, but the participation is anonymous. I can easily set up two different miners, both controlled by me, but with different addresses. There is not generally an easy way of looking up agent ownership.

And while participation could in theory be anonymous for democracies, as you've described, I'm not aware of any country that actually does that?
