Report Violation

Are you sure you want to report the following content as a violation?
Arizona is considering a plan to offer $1 million to a randomly selected voter during elections as an incentive to get more people to vote. A story by Associated Press reporter Paul Davenport says the proposal will be on the Nov. 7 ballot. No one is being offered $1 million in that election so the turnout — just people who vote because it's the right thing to do — may not be extraordinarily high. Is this what America needs to get its duff into the ballot box? I wonder how many people in other countries would give a million for a chance to vote. And I wonder if the chance to win $1 million would make for better or worse voters. Posted by Steve E. Swenson
