E-lection Analysis Coming Soon

There is a lot of important analysis on the Internet’s impact on the 2004 elections that will be coming out in the next few weeks. PoliticsOnline will post it’s own report in the next few days. But for now:

- The most important post election analysis is questioning the religious conservatives or the religiously online right had more impact. So far the religious right option seems most probable.

- Have you heard the new Yahoo! ad with Howard Dean? It’s a scream.

- Arlen Specter is in the Hot Seat as Republican’s hope to oust the Republican. The folks at the new website NotSpecter.com think of him as a RINO (Republican In Name Only).

- Even if the U.S. adopts Internet voting in 2008, it will still be atleast two years behind many European Countries. E-stonia, one of the newest EU members, will vote online next year.

- Then again what’s all the hurry with online voting and other government e-advocacy considering a new World Bank report estimates that as high as 85 per cent of e-government projects in developing countries are either "total or partial failures."
