Internet Politics And Cyberparties: Revolutionizing American Democracy, Kelly Prince

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

The elections of this decade have already been touched by the effects of the Internet, and groups such as the revolutionary cyberparties show promise of reshaping the party politics in this country. The current two-party system is in jeopardy of being replaced by one that is more democratic.

As these tendencies become more apparent, it will become clear that the Supreme Court's confidence in mitigating and aggravating factors are not entirely valid, …
