Coming soon: Online voting!! Just like voting for the MLB All-Star game you can vote 50 times!!!
This author is insane to suggest abolishing the secret ballot. Why do you think the unions hate making unionization votes by secret ballot? Cause it makes them more fair when you can’t intimidate people into voting your way.
And a grander point, to hell with low turnout. Turnout is low? GOOD. GREAT. Why should I want to convince idiots who don’t care to go and vote? I don’t work for the DNC so there is no reason.
I just saw a NYTImes article suggesting non-partisan elections (for city elections) to combat the WOEFULLY LOW turnout like that’s some huge problem.
Even looking at it from an non-partisan perspective I don’t see the problem, they don’t care enough, and they don’t vote, GOOD, so what? Not everyone is cut out for democracy. Let them vote for American Idol where the consequences of their poor choice don’t destroy the country. I don’t want some 18 year old reefer head to choose my leaders any more than I would want him to be on the jury at my murder trial.
Later in the editorial at the link the author suggests methods (that work) of public shaming citizens into voting. She has a agenda furthered by this end is my guess, She assumes that apathetic voters will vote Democrat if you can get them to vote.
