Subject: [Interpretationandmethods] INTERNET VOTING ZAPS BIG MONEY
Message-ID: <cf4.5866c78c.37b5a7fd@aol.com>

 
Hi  Everyone! 
Here is the last chapter for which I will  ask for your comments and 
criticisms.  This is the key chapter in the book I am working on, which suggests 
how  Internet voting can be used to super-democratize US  elections. 
Thanks, 
Bill 
Title: 
How to Organize the Direct  Election of US Presidents in a Way which Will 
Restore Rational Deliberation and  Eliminate Costs to the Candidates, Based 
on Internet Voting   
Abstract 
My previous essays have shown: 
1) that  Internet voting can be as secure, private, fast, convenient, and 
accurate as an  online purchase or banking transaction; 
2) what the original intentions of the Framers were  for US presidential 
elections; and,
3) how our current presidential election  process is definitively 
controlled by the contributing class, as Barack Obama?s  campaign financing shows. 

The present essay will show, in detail, how US  presidential elections can 
be organized so as to restore the original intentions  of the Framers for a 
process based on rational deliberation, free of the  irrational influences 
of campaigns, and cost-free for the prospective  candidates.  As the Framers  
intended, every state will have an equal role in the process.   
Federal matching funds and private campaign  contributions will no longer 
be necessary.  Unlimited spending on candidate  promotion will be permitted, 
consistent with current constitutional law, but its  affect on the voter 
will not have the significance it has under the two-party  system process.  
Contributing class elites will be reduced to equality with  all other voters.  
The political  parties will have no part in candidate selection.   
Contrary to the intentions of the Framers,  this suggested process will 
empower the voters to directly elect the US  president and vice-president. This 
variance from their intentions is justified  by the growth in 
sophistication of the American people since the 18th century,  when a majority was 
illiterate.  
Also not intended by the Framers, is the  system of Internet voting which 
makes the new process possible. But our  Constitution is a living document, 
and has often adapted to technological  change.
