This was before humanity achieved the democratic enlightenment of “vox populi vox Dei.”

In 1972, Democrats made their process more plebiscitary — more primaries, less influence for political professionals — to elicit and echo the vox populi.

But this one, well it works and is probably the only example endorsed by the vox populi.

It also adapted Victorian polymath Francis Galton’s vox populi — or the voice of the people — principle by purportedly putting the web search task to something of a vote.
