A vote which is worth nothing is going to be a target?
A vote is worth a lot. In fact, the basic problem with all online voting schemes, at least according to a dissertation I reviewed, is that vote selling is too easy.
No Internet-based voting system can prevent voter privilege trading (buying/selling) without removing its principle advantages, like voting anywhere at any time with minimum friction.
- jellicle 14y agoSince voting by mail is already available to anyone in any state, this widespread vote-selling should already occur, no? "Send my $100 and I'll send you my unmarked absentee ballot for the 2012 elections - you can fill it out and mail it in." But it doesn't happen. At all. Possibly because it's illegal.
