Revtim, those voter registration programs were implemented wby democrats with the specific purpose of getting poorer people to register (and with the assumption that they wold vote democrat more than republican).
If you do not believe the DMV voter registration programs favor the poor then your argument is not with me but with the people implementing them since that is the reason they are doing it. In my view it favors the lazy who cannot be bothered to resgister otherwise. You can read the news. They have been challenged several times because it made it too easy for people to cheat.
Yes, the rich can also register at the DMV and the poor can go to the public library and vote. My point is this: if you can challenge internet voting on the grounds that the practical efect is that it would favor the rich more than the poor (not on any gronds of principle) then the voter registration program should also be challenged on the same grounds: that in practice it has disparate effects on two different groups of people.
Mi point is that a measure should be considered on its own objective merits not on practical results. Will it encourage whites to vote and not blacks? then it is bad. Will it encourage blacks to vote and not whites? then it is good. The rich? bad, the poor? good By doing this you are trying to manipulate the outcome of the election process. A measure should be judged on its own, without regard to the effects it will have.
The question is :“Should internet voting be implemented?” If your answer is “only if it results in greater votes for the people I vote for” that is not a good answer.
