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. 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.
