Letter: Regarding Voting for Charity's Sake

Lea Kosnik, University of Missouri-St. Louis

A Reader's Reaction to:
Vote for Charity's Sake by Aaron S. Edlin, Andrew Gelman, and Noah Kaplan.

Summary

Edlin et al.'s reason to "vote for charity's sake" was a valiant attempt to justify, for the hard-nosed logical economist, why to vote on election day. The answer as to why we vote, however, may be simpler than trying to come up with a hypothetical charity value.
