Why Online Voting Is a Danger to Democracy
I am strongly against the view of the author.<p>I see that the majority (or a large portion) of voters are fanatics that vote based on affiliation and fanaticism, not policies nor experience.<p>Ie. The voting numbers are largely biased towards the political fanatic crowd.<p>I see online voting as a way to increase the number of ordinary people that vote. Getting the voting population to 80%+ or more is good for democracy. I see this as a positive.<p>Saying Online voting is a danger to democracy is like saying autonomous cars are a danger to safety.<p>Yes, if the autonomous system doesn&#x27;t work and is made with loopholes that allow dangerous stuff, it will pose a danger. But if made to work fail-proof, it will be infinitely better.<p>There&#x27;s no point in saying something will not work if your only argument is based on the proposition that it&#x27;s going to be broken before it&#x27;s even used.<p>Sure, an unsafe car is not safe. The only way to make it safe is to make sure it&#x27;s safe.<p>The only way &quot;democratic&quot; online voting will work is to make sure it&#x27;s &quot;democratic&quot;.
