Online voting would increase coercion
By Matt Michel | Feb. 14, 2008On Thursday Scott Erker asked, "How can voting over the Internet be more subject to coercion than, say, being at a frat or sorority dinner and having the president say 'you better vote tomorrow and here is who we are voting for?'"

Let us all shout a resounding, "Duh."By definition, any constitutional amendment is unconstitutional. If it wasn't we wouldn't need to amend anything now would we? Your decision to deny students the right to vote on their own constitution is unfathomable.
