Thanks @souperk@reddthat.com,
i believe many users will be interested in these papers about cryptographically secure voting.
Amongst them there would be :
@rimu@piefed.social
@SorteKanin@feddit.dk
@brbposting@sh.itjust.works
Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not but I found this review.

I had done some research about a year ago, but I don't have the papers saved.
No I was not sarcastic. So now i am trying to read your paper and i think that it is above my knowledge level.
As a layman i had the intuition that instead of having two accounts as i proposed for voting and commenting which was implemented by @rimu, we might have had something like blockchain or filecoin or some coin that would represent voting power and that would be based on our commenting value... so that coin would have been an intermediary to make voting anonymous.
Finally i know enough about science that i know that i don't know much.
Edit : after a rapid overview of the article i would say that this method :
"Blind Signature-Based e-Voting"
would be most appropriate to our social media voting and i noticed the work they have done is more targeting national elections where the outcome is much more important.
This isn't going to solve anything. Cryptographically secure voting helps when you can ensure that each person only gets to vote once. But anyone can just sign up for more accounts or make loads of bot accounts and vote multiple times. This solves nothing.
