ELETRONIC VOTING: Arguments Against

ELETRONIC VOTING

Arguments Against

Voting has progressed in technology from traditional days when voters dropped votes marked on a shell, shard of pottery, or card into a box to the current days where voting is controlled by electronics and the processes leading to the vote remain unseen to the human eye. Despite the change in method of voting, the basic facets of good voting tactics remain the same: ensuring one vote per voter, maintaining voter anonymity, accuracy of vote, security of the system, and prevention of fraud.

This is where the problem lies in many arguments against electronic voting opponents do not feel that the voting basics can be maintained in an electronic voting system. The arguments have been divided into 3 general categories of complaints: issues with the technology, vast possibilities of fraud, and protection of voters and their votes.

As Bruce Schneier describes it, technology adds more steps to the process and thus increases the possibility of error with each additional step, all of which are largely unseen by the voter. Put Murphys Law of whatever can go wrong, will go wrong into play, and one can surmise that technology will most likely falter. Not only does the technology create more errors in the electronic workings, but the voters can also commit mistakes due to confusion with the user interface. The terminology is confusing, different machines produce different interfaces, and even the audio guides to help the disabled may prove more confusing than helpful.

With the advent of electronic machine voting also comes the higher possibilities of fraudulent machines and practices. First of all, the technology is black box software, meaning that the public is not allowed access into the software that controls the voting machines. Although companies protect their software to protect against fraud (and to beat back competition), this also leaves the public with no idea of how the voting software works. It would be simple for the company to manipulate the software to produce fraudulent results. Also, the vendors who market the machines are in competition with each other, and there is no guarantee that they are producing the machines in the best interest of the voters and the accuracy of the ballots.

Lastly, vote accuracy is also an issue, because voters have no way of confirming there vote, and there is also no way of conducting a recount with direct-recording electronic (DRE) voting. With DRE, there is no paper trail, no verification, and thus no scrutiny of the processes. Voter anonymity is also a problem. Voters have to provide much of their personal information to the systems for voter verification, and with that comes the problem of keeping voter information safe and keeping voters anonymous.

The cons against electronic voting laid out here are only some of the arguments against electronic voting. However, they are a good reflection of the ethical and technical concerns related to the issue of electronic voting.

A Bumper Sticker, a Mob,
and a Polarized Brazil Post-Vote

Re-elected Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff delivers a speech
following her win, in...
 Read More
Antonio Goncalves discovered a campaign sticker can
get you in trouble after 
Brazil’s most-divisive election in at least 68 years.
Goncalves said he took a drive on Nov. 1 with his
wife, mother-in-law and six-year-old daughter along Brasilia’s esplanade of
government buildings, where he discovered demonstrators calling for impeachment
of re-elected President 
Dilma Rousseff.
A mob surrounded his car, which displayed five
pro-Rousseff stickers, and started pounding on it. A window shattered, and his
daughter began to wail.
“This hatred of one’s fellow man just for being on
the opposite side is beyond comprehension,” Goncalves, 32, said by phone from
Brasilia, where he works as a project manager at one of the ministries. “I
participate actively in politics because I like it, and I’ve never seen any
attitude even similar.”
The Oct. 26 election split Brazil along both
regional and class lines and left behind an atmosphere of polarization and
acrimony unprecedented since the return to democracy in 1985, according to
Thiago de Aragao, partner and director of strategy at political consulting firm
Arko Advice. That will make the country more difficult to govern and leaves
Rousseff little room for error in repairing the damage, he said.
“Life will be much harder for her from now on,”
Aragao said by phone from Brasilia. “She does not have 100 percent loyalty in
her party, her main allied party is broken in half between those that support
her and those that don’t, and she has absolutely no bridges of dialogue with
the opposition.”
Narrow Margin
Rousseff defeated Senator Aecio Neves by 3.3
percentage points, the narrowest margin in a Brazilian presidential election
since at least 1945. She won by promising to expand social welfare -- and by
attacking Neves on the grounds that he would scuttle those programs and boost
unemployment, threatening the gains of more than 30 million Brazilians who have been lifted from poverty during 12 years of rule by the
Workers’ Party, or PT. Neves said Rousseff had mismanaged the economy and that
her party is implicated in an unfolding corruption scandal at state-controlled
Petroleo Brasileiro SA.
Neves of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party, or
PSDB, said in his first Senate speech after losing the election any dialogue
with Rousseff would depend on government proposals and a decision to expand a
probe into corruption. A refusal to meet with the president would stand in
contrast to examples set by Brazilian politicians such as Luiz Inacio Lula Da
Silva of the PT, who held talks with outgoing President 
Fernando Henrique
Cardoso
 of the
PSDB after winning the presidential vote in 2002.
‘New Cuba’
In June 2011, Rousseff wrote a letter to Cardoso
congratulating him on his 80th birthday, recognizing his importance in
controlling inflation in Brazil.
Rousseff, 66, won overwhelmingly in poorer regions
of the country, such as the northeast, where she captured 72 percent of votes,
while Neves prevailed in more wealthy regions, gleaning 64 percent of the votes
in the industrial and financial capital city, Sao Paulo.
In the aftermath of the bitter campaign, a city
councilwoman from Natal drew national attention by posting a map on the
Internet with the northern regions labeled “New Cuba.” Others left messages on
the army’s Facebook page, pleading for a coup and the return of military
dictatorship. Neves’s party asked for an audit of the election results, which
hasn’t been done since at least 1996 when Brazil implemented electronic voting.
‘Going Forward’
Such sentiment coalesced into Nov. 1 demonstrations
in 
Sao Paulo, where 1,000 people marched, according to the military police’s press
office, some carrying placards calling for a return to military rule. More
demonstrations are set for Nov. 15. The protesters reflect a small segment of
society that doesn’t know how to lose an election, rather than a threat to
democracy, Joao Augusto de Castro Neves, an analyst at political risk
consulting company Eurasia Group, said.
“These protests highlight some tension-prone
environment she’ll face going forward, but I wouldn’t classify that as
political instability,” he said by phone. “It’s something to watch of course,
it is, but it’s a frustration with the results of the election.”
To compound the perils of polarization, Brazil’s
Congress will be even more fragmented than it was before. As of February, when
the new Congress convenes, Brazil will have 28 parties in its lower house, up
from 22 currently, and 17 parties in Senate, up from 15. While Rousseff’s
coalition will keep its majority in the lower house, it will have less
deputies.
Entered Recession
Rousseff is struggling to manage an economy
that 
entered recession in the first half of the year, with economists in the latest
weekly central bank survey forecasting growth of 0.2 percent in 2014 and 0.8
percent in 2015. Inflation, at 6.59 percent in October, is above the ceiling of
the official target range, and real interest rates of 4.7 percent are the
highest in the Group of 20 nations.
The Ibovespa stock index plunged as much as 6.2
percent the day after elections, and has since recovered by 5.4 percent. The
real has depreciated 3 percent since the vote.
“The winner can’t be arrogant or think she has the
final say on political vision,” Rousseff said on Nov. 5. “We know that the
principal space for dialogue is in Congress.”
Demand Efficiency
Neves returned to Congress Nov. 4 and told
reporters he would lead the opposition to demand efficiency and transparency.
He said recent protests are the start of Brazil encountering its future, though
any demonstrations calling for backtracking from democracy would receive “our
most vehement opposition.”
In a speech the next day Neves said, referring to
the PT: “They showed they know no limits in their fight to remain in power. The
bad faith with which they waged the dispute reached the limits of the
unthinkable, the absurd. And it assaulted the democratic conscience of the
country.”
Rousseff said in her election-night victory speech
that her first goal will be to push for changes in regulations governing
elections and parties, such as reducing the role of company funding of
campaigns and tightening anti-corruption laws. By focusing on the political
system rather than an economy in recession, she is creating “an unnecessarily
hostile environment” in Congress, said Eduardo Cunha, leader of the Brazilian
Democratic Movement Party, or PMDB, in the lower house, in an Oct. 30
interview.
Rebellious Faction
The PMDB is the biggest allied party in Rousseff’s
coalition, and Cunha, who in the past led the party’s rebellious faction, is a
candidate to become the chamber’s president.
Since attempts to change the political system will
roil her coalition, Rousseff should prioritize 
tax reform and shift from her style of centralized decision-making to
strengthen ministers and advisers, according to Rafael Cortez, an analyst with
consulting firm Tendencias Consultoria Integrada. That would allow them to
improve ties with Congress and is the type of leadership that works in Brazil’s
system of rule by coalition, he said.
“She has to find a core of politics that are
acceptable within the allied base,” Cortez said by phone from Sao Paulo.
“Starting with thorny issues that create divergence will only give her more
work.”
For Goncalves, the man whose car was attacked in
Brasilia, whether polarization subsides depends on victors and losers accepting
the election’s result.
“Now isn’t the time to stir up emotions,” Goncalves
said. “It’s time to analyze in order to dispute again in four years, not keep
inciting more hatred and rage.”
