RE: How Many Steemians Are NOT Voting for a Witness? I Found the Answer!
Low voting percentage is lower than I would have guessed.
But stepping back from a practical perspective - do we have any evidence that lack of voting is in any way corrupting or impacting the witness pool?
Are there known bad actors that we should care about trying to get out?
How would we find about known bad actors that need to be out?
I vote when I see someone making specially good efforts to try to advance the best interests of the community.
So I'll go and vote for @lukestokes
But not sure how it really matters or what impact my vote will have.
Just doing it to be a "good citizen"
STEEM On!!

Thanks David. At the moment, when the community is (somewhat) in agreement about things, it's not really a big deal. Even then, what really matters is how the accounts with the most Steem Power vote. When it comes to blockchain governance, having it built in is really nice. Other cryptocurrencies have run into big problems with miners battling users battling other corporate interests. It can get nasty. One of the things I love about DPOS (Delegated Proof of Stake, the system Steem uses, unlike POW-proof of work) is that we have this voting system built in. If there was a conflict, however, we'd need to make sure we actually use it. There have been conflicts before. One hardfork proposted by Steemit, Inc as an example, never went live. The witnesses rejected it.
So yeah, it's important and can be difficult to keep up with. Thanks for being a good citizen. :)
