The best argument against a market in votes is that the vote is not a piece of private property; rather, it is a public responsibility. To treat a vote as an instrument of profit would be to degrade it, to corrupt its meaning as an expression of civic duty.
但反对投票市场化的最有利论证则认为选票并不是一个私人财产，而是一项社会责任。将选票当成赚钱工具就等于贬低和腐蚀了其作为一种公民责任表现方式的意义。
