I don't think the U.S. should become active in e-democracy. Mainly, because certain households do not or cannot afford a computer, cell phone, etc. The said households could miss out on certain votes, or important campaign issues. Secondly, this could lead to a rise in cyber-bullying. More people could receive spam e-mails, threatening texts or messages, or viruses on their computers. On a forum a one "A. Sideridis" posted, he mentioned there could be a rise in privacy violations and electronic crime. Some people may even decide in violates their rights.
