Four years ago I wrote the first paper of my PhD program. It was a final paper for IST 501 (one of the best classes I ever had). We had to pick a topic related to information technology and any of the topic of the hundreds of papers we had read in class. I decided to write about Information Technology and politics. I finished with a 26 pages document that got me a good grade but never did it in the big leagues (journal, conference, or even a poster).
Given the results of the election in United States and the important role that the Internet played on it, I want to put the paper online. So people interested on writing about it can have a starting point (at least on the references).
