How long before all presidential campaigns become Reality TV shows, with primaries voted on through through texting and twitter? Isn't it inevitable?
No.
Republicans would never go for that. Poor people might use one of those two methods to cast ballots, and we can't have that. On the contrary, Republicans will continue to make the act of voting as difficult as possible for anyone who isn't an elderly white person. And they will continue to fight as hard as they can to institute state voter ID laws that will have increasingly more difficult and expensive requirements.
YouCut will never become YouVote.
If the elder generation texted and tweeted, then maybe, but a big turkey day discussion topic was those of Fox News age rambling on about the pointlessness of texting, whatever it is, while the 20-somethings who lean D tried to explain how and why.
ReplyDeleteThe GOP would have to teach their voters how to text and then have Medicare give each of them a free BlackBerry---
