Digital dilemmas: the unintended consequences of election technology

Digital technologies are increasingly used in elections around the world. Where the resources and capacity of the state are limited, some have argued that such technologies make it possible to rapidly “leapfrog” to cleaner and more credible elections. This article argues that the growing use of these technologies has been driven by the fetishization of technology rather than by rigorous assessment of their effectiveness; that they may create significant opportunities for corruption that (among other things) vitiate their potential impact; and that they carry significant opportunity costs. Indeed, precisely because new technology tends to deflect attention away from more “traditional” strategies, the failure of digital checks and balances often renders an electoral process even more vulnerable to rigging than it was before. These observations are not intended as a manifesto against the digitization of elections; apart from anything else, we argue that the drivers of the adoption of these new methods are too powerful to resist. But the analysis draws attention to the importance of more careful assessments of the problems, as well as the benefits, of such technologies – and to the need for more careful planning in their deployment.

对『司法会计鉴定结论能否回答法律性问题』的思考

司法会计鉴定结论是法定证据之一.由于司法会计技术人员一般都具备较高的综合素质,司法会计鉴定与查帐报告和审计结论有质的区别,司法会计技术人员对案件过程有比较全面的了解,对案件性质有比较深刻的认识,因此,司法会计鉴定结论对法律问题不应当采取一概回避或一律排斥的态度.又由于司法会计技术人员不具备对案件定性的权力,司法鉴定在本质上是一种科学研究活动,决定了它只能有限制地回答部分与鉴定要求有关的法律问题.
