secrecy is fatal to deliberation, in my opinion.
-Yes but you agree on that it might be necessary to use for the individual voter. But why do you envison non-TOP FA:s besides the open ones?
further, the problem with “continuous voting,” that I see, is that it encourages people to vote before the deliberative process has proceeded.
What has not been considered is that it is a fair amount of trouble to vote. It is also work to follow debate. Someone who has already voted is quite likely to drop the topic.
So the opportunity to convince such a person through cogent debate or bargaining is lost…..
-Please adress this issue in a proper string where I will respond, this one is about secret votes. (I have the same problem myself, leaving the subject every now and then…)
