Voting and Causal Responsibility
The paper is a response (by Geoff Sayre-McCord and me) to a claim by Goldman in a 1999 paper (taken up by Tuck in his Free-Riding book) to the effect that standard methods of assessing causality in over-determination cases (of which the voting case is one) seriously under-estimate the causal efficacy of individual voting.
