Arizona Folly: Voter Lottery
Thu July 31st, 2003 23:24 MSTSome Arizonans (Democrats, of course) are proposing to use some lottery profits to create an incentive for voting… by turning voting itself into a lottery”
…would reward one lucky voter with $1 million from the state Lottery every two years.
Just what we need… ignorant people sending in randomly marked ballots in a faint hope of winning the lottery.
That people believe it should be easy to vote is indicative of the rise of the idiotarian left in our society! Voting should be important. If you don’t care enough to work at it, you shouldn’t do it. But don’t tell that to the liberals - they aren’t so fond of work in the first place.
They created motor-voter laws, so you don’t have to go out of your way to vote, increasing registration of lazy people for Democrats. This same trick allows non-citizens and illegal aliens who get driver’s licenses (there are many) to vote. Another idiocy allows absentee and early voting without a compelling reason, so you don’t have to even been seen voting (increasing the odds of voter fraud - helping Democrats).
Now they want people to vote so they might win a lottery? Only fools would vote just to win a lottery, again increasing votes by Democratic leaning voters (although who they actually vote for is questionable… they may be no more competent than Florida’s year 2000 voters).
Voting used to be a social function. You went to your precinct, were verified (an alien, so to speak, concept) and cast your vote. Now we are turning it into gambling?
Of course, when one reads in the article that the same group wants to dramatically increase per-pupil educational spending (a long disproven attempt to improve educational success), the suspicion that these folks are idiots confirmed!
Pah!!
This idea seems on par with the “Rock The Vote” campaign pushed by MTV. Why would you want to encourage people who have no interest in voting and who’s greatest worry in the world is Carson Daly’s latest hairstyle to cast a ballot? Except perhaps because the views pushed on MTV are far left and they are the ones that will stick in their minds as they vote. Democrats are also on a push again to give voting rights back to convicted felons. Why? because convicted felons apparently vote democratic. Go figure….
This is a joke right?
RIGHT?
right?
right?!?
idiots.
Every successful person has had failures but repeated failure is no
guarantee of eventual success.
