>		Comment: Julian, for some reason your post does not have a comment box so I thought I would leave a note down here. I think you make an excellent point in your essay about the convenience of voting. One thing you could add to your list of obstacles at the top is the length of time it takes to vote itself since many people have to stand in line at polling locations for quite some time (or at least I did last time around!). I wonder too whether there are other considerations that might help expand voting. For example, if voting were available online, we might imagine a simultaneous rule requiring businesses to provide each employee time during the day and access to the internet so that they can cast their votes if the choose to do. This might help even out the effects of the availability of online voting across the class structure. I think your point about it being a zero sum game is interesting, but might be misleading. In theory, if we make it much easier for one section of the population to vote than another (whereas they may have been at least somewhat equally inconvenienced before) won't that skew election results?
