Only One Election

Posted on June 6, 2012 in Elections

I believe pre-election polls should be outlawed. There is no reason for them other than to provide a bit of puffery for the news. And I think they have the effect of lowering participation in elections. People see that their candidate is, according to the poll, slated to lose, so they don’t show up.

This is a constitutional amendment I would get behind. There should be only one election, not several.
