01/18/2004 10:23 AM Here's the current draft (still under discussion) of the description
of the session I'm leading at the O'Reilly Digital Democracy Teach-in:
The common wisdom — that the Internet is just one more tool in
the campaign box — is wrong. Experience so far seems to show
that to effectively use the Internet "tool" a campaign has to give up
some of the most basic assumptions about the nature of campaigns as
top-down, one-to-many, marketing efforts. How is the Internet "tool"
reshaping campaigns, political parties and the electorate? Are the
most important effects of the Internet the ones we expect...

Time: 3:30pm - 4:15pm
Location: California Ballroom C
While we're
building great new tools to build communities, we've done very little
to ensure that people around the world have access to them. And even
when we've made it possible for people in developing nations to speak,
we've done little to ensure that anyone listens. How do we ensure that
the "Second Superpower" Jim Moore proposes
includes the poor as well as the rich? When a new democratic structure
emerges from highly-wired westerners, how do we ensure it's fair and
just for those currently unwired? The answer is more complex than
bridging the so-called "digital divide" - it involves bridging
countless cultural divides. Emerging technologies make it easier than
ever to bring first-person perspectives, as well as images, movies and
music to people in other nations - is this enough to bring cultures
together and ensure they care about one another?

quoting segments. A conference generates, say, 100 hours of audio. If
you can't navigate that easily, can't link to pieces of it, it's not
as useful and it won't support conversations as much.

02/10/2004 02:46 AMTwo more Digital Democracy Teach-In events come and go. The guys
from meetup.com put together a
couple of presentations including some useful statistics and a few
nice punchlines, but I'm not sure I learned anything particularly new
during it. Certainly I didn't feel my head trying to articulate itself
into any strange new shapes. And next up the political weblogging
panel, which I've decided to abandon almost on principle - not
because it's about weblogs, but because political weblogging as an end
unto itself seems to me not to have matured past tabloid tactics of
name-calling, mischaracterisation and "Am I right? Am I
right?"-style calls to the converted. My general impression of
this part of the event is that it's more aimed at explaining current
fairly-mainstream technologies and approaches to politicos rather than
looking at the emergent technologies that might interest the geekier
audiences (and me).

02/01/2005 09:09 PMHooray for the elections in Iraq! The accounts are moving. For
example, from the Boston Globe: Wamidh Imad al-Zubaidi, an engineer,
almost decided not to vote after death threats against would-be voters
circulated in his mixed Sunni and Shi'ite neighborhood, Zayouna. Then,
he said, he remembered his brother, who was executed for opposing
Saddam Hussein's regime. ''I feel a power inside myself, and there is
a voice telling me, this should not happen to my son or to any Iraqi.
I have to prevent this dictatorship from returning to Iraq," he said,
adding that he braved the polls with his...

Then, at 5pm, it was back to the Portsmouth HQ, phoning people to urge
them to vote. In short, I spent the day being a little-d democrat.

10/31/2003 07:27 PMBeltwayOutsider
writes in with a link to an MIT Tech Review story about a guy who,
just as an exercise, created various potential
scen
arios to increase the information a voter is aware of before
voting in an election. We're not talking about electronic voting
here, but changing some of the fundamental methods of deciding who
votes and how they vote. None of these plans is a "recommendation",
but, rather are designed to get people thinking beyond what they may
have considered before. People seem to get angry about his ideas, but
I'm not sure why. It actually wouldn't surprise me if his first
scenario came true - though, it would be an indication of how
intellectually lazy some of us had become. It's based on a little
agent that would monitor what you do and say online and then look at
the various candidates and proposals and suggest who and what you
should vote for. Obviously, people would have huge problems with
machines determining who you should vote for, but it is intriguing to
wonder if this would lead to elections that more accurately reflect
what the public really wants. Other scenarios are designed to push
more information into the hands of voters - and perhaps reward them
for understanding the issues. One would give voters extra votes if
they first prove they understand an issue, while another would force
the person to prove that a certain issue actually impacted them by
proving they had visited the location that the vote was about. The
last idea isn't a bad one as well - and I'm sure that some websites
probably already
try to do this. It's "post vote tracking",
where you would be informed of the results of your vote, and whether
or not the politician you voted for kept his or her promises.
Definitely some interesting ideas to think about.

03/19/2003 10:24 PM From William Du Bois, from a mailing list I'm on: Bush's Utopian Plan
for Peace and mine differ at the core. Hal Pepinsky, one of the
founders of peacemaking criminology, talks about the dynamics of
democracy and violence. He defines democracy as responsiveness —
we take each other into account. We may not change our agenda but we
take what the Other has to say into account. Violence is the opposite
of democracy. It is asserting your own will and refusing to take the
other into account......

Democracy Is Just Too Expensive
Democracy Is Just Too Expensive
05/04/2004 12:21 PMIt turns out, by the way, with all this talk about electronic voting
and how flimsy it is, that the federal commission tasked with making
sure that when you vote, it counts, is saying that
it's way too expensive for them to actually make sure
electronic voting works. Not only is the commission lacking
money, but it's lacking in any kind of authority to tell election
officials what to do. Those election officials have set up their own
volunteer group to discuss issues with electronic voting, but even
that's not binding in any way. In other words, right now, election
officials can pretty much do what they want when it comes to
electronic voting. Democracy, it appears, is just too expensive and
too complicated to do right.

This may be the
single most important seminar of this conference. Participation in
Emergent Democracy requires a computer and an internet connection.
This is the bottom line. Where you can go from there is limited only
by your desire and participation. While we have this group of folks in
the building, let's lower the bar bills and increase the participation
in emergent democracy.

suggestion: A computer roadshow. Interesting idea.
Democracy By Obscurity
Democracy By Obscurity
08/23/2004 02:21 PMIt turns out that, not only are the makers of electronic voting
machines practicing security by obscurity,
those who certify the machines are
just as secretive. Call it democracy by obscurity. The
certification companies, who are hired by the e-voting machine
companies (conflict of interest?) won't reveal what they do to test
the machines or the results of any such tests. So, while the e-voting
machine companies continue to insist that they're secure, they won't
show us how the systems work for others to prove that its secure, and
the only people who are certifying the machines are secure are being
paid by the vendors themselves and won't reveal their testing methods
or results. It's the "just trust us" form of counting votes.
