Comments for I Think, Therefore I Rant! http://www.ithinkthereforeirant.com Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:15:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Comment on Should America vote online? by Timm http://www.ithinkthereforeirant.com/2011/11/08/should-america-vote-online/comment-page-1/#comment-1424 Timm Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:15:59 +0000 http://www.ithinkthereforeirant.com/2011/11/08/should-america-vote-online/#comment-1424 Good analysis. But I think your conclusion that online voting would favor rich Republican voters is wrong. If there was an app for voting, I believe a large majority of young people would participate in elections. Most young adults own a mobile phone. And just look at the tens of millions of votes cast for American Idol each week. Young adults are currently the age group least likely to vote in elections. And young adults tend to vote Democrat. So young adults would provide a huge Democrat counter-balance to the wealthy stay-at-home Republicans. Unfortunately, young adults tend to be the least knowledgeable politically. While this might be reason for concern, the politicians we've elected the past decade have been so dreadful that I'm not sure naive young adults could do much worse. Good analysis.

Unfortunately, young adults tend to be the least knowledgeable politically. While this might be reason for concern, the politicians we’ve elected the past decade have been so dreadful that I’m not sure naive young adults could do much worse.

I just unfriended a conservative Christian friend on Facebook when he and his friends started posting harsh homophobic slurs against Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan.
