Strengthening voter enfranchisement is a commendable cause, but moving from accessible to effortless in order to cater to people reasonably able but insufficiently motivated is an awful reason to jeopardize the stakes of not just electronic but outright online voting.

- BostonFern 7y agoIf polling stations are not in fact accessible, then the criticism doesn't apply: strengthening voter enfranchisement is commendable.
