 should we replace analog voting system with e-voting system?



 Voting is a human's common right to decide something as democratic way.  As democracy has been developed, voting and voting system have really big influence. However, nowadays, many people don't know how voting and voting system are important and powerful. Actually, one vote can change the world. For example, when French revolution, Louis XVI's execution was decided by voting system. As technology is developed, many people said that evolution of voting system is necessary with reasoning analog voting system's problems. E-voting system, therefore, has been issued as one of  alternatives. However, some people said that there are much more serious problem on e-voting system. Therefore, the application of e-voting system has been delayed. In my opinion, we should replace analog voting system with e-voting system


In Italy where e-voting system is partly used, there was conflict that was about independence between Italy and Veneto which is city of Italy. That independence was failed because the number of people who want independence was lower than  the number of people who don't want independence of Veneto and this result was shown in e-voting immediately. We can refer from this example that Europe has used e-voting system and the virtue of e-voting system, E-voting system is a voting system  that allows people to vote with their computer with internet. It means that we can know the results of voting system immediately. There is one more virtue of e-voting system, that is : increase the number of participants who vote. The number of participants who vote with analog voting system is decreasing. According to research from National Statistical Office in Korea, in president election of Korea that use analog voting system, the number of participants who vote is decreasing because of some problems of analog voting system that e-voting system can solve. 

  According to these statistic, the number of participants who vote with  analog voting system has been decreasing and this can be serious problem because the results of vote can't represent all of people's opinion, interest, problem. This situation can generate disaster of economy and society with dictator. To solve this serious phenomenon, we should replace e-voting system with three reasons in terms of protection of person's right,economy,society. E-voting system can protect people's rights for voting and participating because it is opposite from analog voting system which make people vote with their special paper in special place. It means that people should go polling place to vote and their right to vote can be violated if they can't move or vote because of physical disability or working. Vote was made to listen people's demand and constitution definite it as a right. However, E-voting system is a voting system  that allows people to vote with their computer with internet. It means that people don't have to go polling place. People can vote in home or company and their right to vote is protected. Moreover, e-voting system is much more economical than analog voting system. Analog voting system need much more time to show result and there is possibility that result can be spoiled when someone just changes a ballot box . However, The result of e-vote can be shown immediately and the result of e-voting system can not be spoiled because the result is being shown during voting and this can not be changed. Moreover, process of vote doesn't need any money because we can vote without paper or any tool.  In addition, e-voting system can solve serious social problem which is the number of participants who vote decreasing. However, e-voting system make people vote anywhere and anytime. This trait makes participants of vote increase.


Many people and country have delayed to replace analog voting system with e-voting system because they worried about e-voting's security. Their basic worry is about spoiled result because of hacking. However, unlike people's thinking, hacking is not easy because a lot of experts will stand by to keep from hacking. In addition, We can solve this problem with economy. For example, there already are homepages that help people to vote with e-voting system and the homepages have responsibility about hacking. it means they inevitably have to try to protect voting system from hacking. Many universities try to decide their student president with e-voting system and using these homepages. there isn't any problem with security. I understand many people worried about security. However, it is not a big problem because nowadays many of things decided by internet with protecting program.


As I related before, there are many problems on analog voting system which can be solved by replacing it with e-voting system. Because voting has powerful influence, these problems can be disaster. However, nowadays, many people don't know how voting and voting system are important and powerful. Actually, Voting is unique tool to participate in policy directly, thus, it is important to solve voting system's problem that can violate people's right. Replacing analog voting system with e-voting system can solve many problems that can be generated by analog voting system and give us many benefits economically, socially. If I'm right, many people who couldn't vote because of handicaps or work will be able to vote without going polling place. Moreover, we can show to people the results of the vote immediately. In addition the number of participants who vote will increase which is serious problem in society. However, many people said that e-voting can be hacked and the result can be changed. Unlike these people's thinking,these problems also can be solved because experience of e-voting system can make technology developed , homepage that has responsibility about vote or experts that will come together to protect like so many other internet tool. Therefore I strongly believe we should replace analog voting system with e-voting system.

Week 9 Objective - Refutation and Concession

Refutation and Concession



1. What is my thesis?
We should replace analog voting system with e-voting system

2. What is the opposite position?
E-voting system is obviously unsecured

3. What arguments can I anticipate?
E-voting system's problems
ex) hacking,security,+ Norway deletes their e-voting system

4. How will I counter those arguments?
Argument about hacking is most vulnerable for me because we can not sure about technology in computer. It is being developed. According to Harvard Sampler, It said that once technology to protect is developed, other technology to fierce it is developed. However, all of experts will come together because election is important for country. If there is hacking, than we just convert it to solve it.


My Refutation and Concession

Many people and country have delayed to replace analog voting system with e-voting system because they worried about e-voting's security. Their basic worry is about spoiled result because of hacking.

During the 2013 elections, online voting was an option in Norway. Even so, Erna Solberg, chairman of the Conservative Party of Norway, casts an old-school ballot.



My TopicShould we  replace analog voting system with e-voting system?
My argument : we should replace analog voting system with e-voting system

What I hope to learn from this source: I have to know opposition's reason and prepare how I will rebut.
Notes:
1.After a two-year trial for Internet voting, Norway is pulling the plug
2. The country's Office of Modernization said in a statement that there's no evidence that online voting, tested in elections in 2011 and 2013, improved turnout. It also said that "political disagreement" over the issue, along with voters' fear that ballots might not be secure, could undermine the democratic process.
3. David Jefferson, a computer scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, wrote in 2011 that "computer and network security experts are virtually unanimous in pointing out that online voting is an exceedingly dangerous threat to the integrity of U.S. elections.

Final Thoughts: e-voting also has many problems : 1. hacking(security) 2. The reason that I made should have more research : about increasing of the number of participants

Week 7. narration

Narration

Should e-voting system replace analog voting system?




My persuasive argument thesis is: e-voting system should replace analog voting system 

1.  What do people already know about my topic?

1. analog voting system : Analog voting system is a voting system that allows people to vote with their special paper in special place. It means that people should go polling place to vote. However many people already know that analog voting system has many problems. For example, disabled people who can't move can't vote and those who are busy with their work can't vote. However it can be done with security because we just have to secure boxes that contain paper-votes. 

2. e-voting system : E-voting system is a voting system  that allows people to vote with their computer with internet. It means that people don't have to go polling place. People can vote in home or company. This trait makes participants of vote increase. However, with traits of internet, the results of vote can be changed by hacking of cyber terror and it has not been used widely and popularly.

2. What research has already been done about my topic?

1. I have research that is about real example of e-voting system rather than analog voting system. http://news.kmib.co.kr/article/view.asparcid=0922791583&code=11141100&cp=nv There is one real example of e-voting system in Italy. The number of people who want independence of Veneto was lower than  the number of people who don't want independence of Veneto and this result was shown in e-voting immediately. I can refer that Europe has used e-voting system.

2. I have information that is about analog voting system. http://search.naver.com/search.naver?where=nexearch&query=%EB%8C%80%EC%84%A0&sm=top_hty&fbm=1&ie=utf8 The number of participants who vote with analog voting system is decreasing. According to research from 통계청, in Korean president election that use analog voting system, the number of participants who vote is decreasing because of some weakness of analog voting system. First, people should go to vote to polling place. Second, disabled people can't vote Third, money that is used for analog voting system is tremendous. There is one more problem, the result of vote is shown lately.

3. What are the implications of my argument (What if I'm right? What if I'm right and people ignore me?)

1, My argument is that e-voting system should replace analog voting system. If I'm right, many people who couldn't vote because of handicaps or work will be able to vote without going polling place. Moreover, we can show to people the results of the vote immediately. However, many people said that e-voting can be hacked and the result can be changed. These problems also can be solved because experience of e-voting system can make technology developed.
