Ballot issues?



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

With so many of us disturbed at the rumors of problems with the voting machines and the ties to the GOP, maybe it's time we think about formulating some ballot issues that would help us pull the crowds and also pull in new votes. After 2000 any reasonable person would have seen the need to overhaul a damaged system but we are not dealing with reasonable people. We're dealing with people who saw this as an opportunity to make more money for their donors. The GOP does not want to give up any power and we shouldn't expect them to do anything to help us out besides make jokes about us all needing tin foil hats. Why not make the voting machines, the lack of paper trails, the irregularities, etc. an issue for 2006 to ignite our faithful?

One of the bright spots last week was the stem-cell research ballot issue out in California and I would not mind seeing that pop up elsewhere. What other issues should we be looking at that will draw the masses and work against GOP candidates?
