The
Associated Press
reports that the state of Washington will soon have an application
available on its Facebook page that will let residents register to
vote. Washington and other states already allow online registration,
but this is the first time it will be allowed over Facebook.

This is the money
shot—"Facebook users in
Washington state will have something else to brag about to their online
friends: that they registered to vote on Facebook." |

Not just registering - there's talk about voting online.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with that (besides the obvious ones) is that if that happens, then voting for government becomes as irrelevant as voting for American Idol (or whatever).
Voting is more important that that.
Obviously, what they're after is the teenage vote (18 & 19 now, but just be patient). If Justin Bieber were on the ballot, he'd be president. And teenagers (and those up to 26, still on their parents' health insurance, and probably still living with their parents) will obviously vote Democrat - because if you're young and don't vote Democrat, you don't have a heart.....
ZZMike -
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about your comment above - the justification for the eighteen year old vote was that an eighteen year old could be drafted or join the armed services, so if he can die for his country he should be able to vote. Noble sentiment at first glance, but the majority of eighteen year olds are NOT in the armed services and are empty headed products of government schools that haven't a clue about much of anything. Need to change that when TRKOF takes over.
Eighteen year olds actually in the services can vote, otherwise they wait until age 26, or if we get rid of Uhbamacare, age 21 as it used to be. I'm sick of pasty faced pukes talking about majoring in social justice and expecting 'free' everything, and I damn sure don't want them to vote until they get back in touch with reality.

When you're a self-supporting adult you may vote. Until then, just run along.
