Procedural Exclusion: The Costs of a Digital-Only Government

This piece examines the transition of American administrative services toward digital-exclusive platforms and the resulting marginalization of the nation’s senior population. It analyzes how the shift toward "paperless" bureaucracy creates a system of citizenship that compromises the constitutional principle of Due Process for those lacking technical proficiency. By evaluating the disconnect between infrastructure investment and functional access, the piece proposes a basic framework to protect the legal rights and dignity of older Americans.
