I want to sincerely thank everyone who took the time to read, critique, challenge, and expand upon the ideas presented in this essay, “Is Voting A Criminal Act”.

Several of your comments raised thoughtful objections and questions that deserve far more than a brief reply in the comment section. Rather than rushing those answers, I've decided they each deserve essays of their own.

Topics currently include:

• Can Reputation Be Stolen?

• Can You Vote to Reduce Coercion?

• The Difference Between Power and Authority.

• What Is Consent?

• Can Another Person Truly Represent Your Will?

• Can a Majority Create Moral Rights?

Whether you agreed with me or not, your willingness to engage with the argument itself is exactly the kind of discussion I hope to cultivate.

Thank you for helping forge these ideas.
