Internet voting happens all the time, but usually it’s confined to topics such as "Who is the cutest cast member of Party of Five?" Soon, however, people will be able to cast their ballots for President on the Internet. In March, Arizona Democrats will vote online in their state’s presidential primary, and Florida and Washington are considering online voting. The military plans to allow a small test group of overseas soldiers to vote via the Internet this November.
The Internet voting is growing rapidly. There are civic (市民的) engagement enthusiasts who see it as a way to prevent the drop in voter turnout. Then there are the Internet fans, who think the Internet is going to change everything, so why not politics? Most important are the people who make the plan for developing software for online voting. Imagine the retail price of that software, then multiply it by every state and city government, and suddenly a lot of Internet capitalists develop a deeply felt concern for increasing voter turnout.
Some problems will arise. Hackers and some Politicians could break into a voting database and make the secret ballot not so secret. A massive computer failure would have disastrous consequences. Just as serious, online voting could distort participation levels, at least, to the wealthy and cyber-connected.
In the long run, however, online voting might make little difference. Since the 1960s, the government has made numerous attempts to energize nonvoters by making it easier for them to get to the polls, extending voting hours, lowering the voting age, etc. Still, voter turnout has decreased steadily. Political scientists believe the important cause is indifference and dislike to politics, not the inconvenience of voting. Putting a ballot on the Internet might even further depress turnout by cheapening one of the holy ceremonies of democracy. "The business of democracy," says Curtis Gans, an analyst of voting behaviour, "shouldn’t be the same as getting your e-mail." [br] The word "ballot" (Line 2, Para.1) most probably means ______.
