Poll question: Electronic Voting Machines: Rate Issue Importance

By now you must have heard about many of the problems associated with Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). Compared to other domestic issues you are familiar with, please rate the importance of the EVM issue.

you actually give a damn about democracy, and preserving it.

16. :::clinking glasses:::

hey.....where's that swirling wine glass thing?

14. HUGE issue.

This, along with the seemingly-Republican takeover of the mainstream media and the confusion and deceit that goes along with it, is the biggest threat to democracy today.

15. Why bother..

..campaigning for your candidate, monetarily supporting your favorite causes, going to the polls to vote IF YOUR VOTE DOES NOT COUNT?

Anyone who thinks this isn't the #1 issue really needs to do some reading and become aware of the threat to this process in which we choose who will be our voice on a local, state, and national basis.

Get educated, spread the word, convince your lawmakers as a whole. PAPER BALLOTS not electronic voting!

17. This is the number

one issue as far as I'm concerned.
