READY FOR COMMENT | | | -- StephanieTrain - 13 Mar 2010 | |

< | I added a comment box in response to Stephanie's note that you don't have one. I didn't comment on your essay previously because I wasn't sure if you wanted feedback - if you want it, keep the comment box but if you do not, delete the comment box. To remove the comment box, go into "Edit" and delete the line that says !
Julian: Really enjoyed your paper. I agree that egalitarianism isn't a convincing argument against online voting. The rate at which internet access is increasing with respect to the total population, as well as the fact that physical polling stations would remain open, lead me to think that the net benefits of online voting to egalitarianism would far outweigh any losses.
I do wonder if internet security isn't just a technical problem which will inevitably be solved through advances in, e.g., encryption technology. The bigger privacy problem I have with online voting is the absence of election judges and voting booths. I fear the risk of private coercion, for example by heads of households, employers, religious leaders, union leaders, etc. Do you think this is an issue, and if so, can it be solved with technology?

at the bottom of the page. I would also suggest you add a note at the top of the page (like Nikolaos has done on his paper) indicating whether it is ready for review or not and whether you would like feedback from others in the class. | >

I didn't comment on your essay previously because I wasn't sure if you wanted feedback - if you want it, keep the comment box but if you do not, delete the comment box. To remove the comment box, go into "Edit" and delete the line that says COMMENT (with parentheses around it) at the bottom of the page.

A few substantive comments, then a few technical. | | | Finally, I just realized that perhaps making it easy not to vote without being noticed is also probably a right. But I guess that really starts reaching the outlying issues of a very short paper anyway. | |

Julian,
Something went wrong with the coding in the last few days and suddenly a comment box appeared in your essay and you were getting comments inside of other people's comments. I deleted the box and moved the comment (Usman's) to the location it should have appeared in. Just wanted to post so you knew! | | | | |
