Americans turn out to vote in dismally low numbers but a political activist in Arizona has come up with a plan to correct this by submitting plans for a one million dollar lottery prize to be awarded to a lucky voter after each state election. Now that's the way to revive democratic participation.
Hypothetical voter interview:
Who did you vote for?
Um, first one on the list, I think.
Which party do you support?
Party? I didn't know there would be a party.
What issue concerns you the most?
I'm missing American Idol to be here.
What do you think of the incumbent's platform?
He should stay on the ground like the rest of us.
What should the state do with the tax suplus?
Um, well, I usually keep extra tacks in baby food jars.
Who do you hope wins this election?
Me, of course!
Thank you for your participation.
Ironically, this bill is going to be decided in this year's state ballot. Let's hope someone shows up to vote on it.
Hilarious! Thanks Sin Nickel.
