Electronic voting

Animal Conspiracy Theory “Alright, so it is the night before the voting of the presidential election and the plan is that we will be breaking into the White House and hacking all of the voting systems to help Donald Trump win the election.” “No! I want Hillary to win the election. ‘Better Together!’ Duh!” “Well, that´s too bad, Jim. We already went over this. Everyone voted for Donald, so we are hacking it for Donald to win. I appreciate your autonomy, but stop being anti-Trump.” Welcome to…

Political parties have dominated the political landscape ever since George Washington left the Presidency of the United States. They have had many names over the centuries, from Federalists and Antifederalists to Democrats and Republicans, the two major parties of today. But what is a political party? Consider a school board. One part of the community seeks to get a new sports stadium built for the district. The other wants renovations to occur for their theater. When the seats on the board are…

for the first time in their lives, compared to the shameless support and passion towards Trump that other republicans express. On the democratic side there is a clear sense of anger amongst the many Bernie Sanders supporters and many are planning on voting third party, risking a split of the democratic vote. There is a sense of hopelessness regarding the election as there is a record breaking distaste for both candidates. There is also a widespread recognition…

I happen to believe that lowering the voting age is not a very good idea. The reasoning behind my opinion is that children, who are not of the adult age of 18 yet, could be coerced by their parents to vote the way their parents want, instead of having their own educated opinion.

The Use of Social Media in Presidential Campaigns Many politicians are slowly embracing technology by switching their campaigns to social media. The immediate former president of the United States had over twenty-million followers on Twitter during his intense campaign that led to the election of the first black president to head world’s biggest economy. His opponent, Mitt Romney, had over one-million followers on Twitter with over seven million friends on Facebook. In the recently concluded…

to vote in the 2016 election. This number isn’t all because of lazy people and stubborn voters. In 14 states, new restrictive voting laws that targeted minorities were installed before the election. This was the first election since the Supreme Court turned down a provision of the Voting Rights Act that required federal approval on any state election law. I think that voting is something that should have equal laws between states, and should be made as easy as possible. The argument that there…

Why use polling? Polling is utilized in politics to gauge the public’s attitude toward a person or issue and to learn what message could persuade a particular type of voter to support a particular person or issue. Polls can measure candidate viability through the ballot test question, and evaluate the effectiveness of a particular communication strategy. For instance, polling allows a representative sample of 1,000 people to share their opinions on a candidate or issue, thereby providing the…

one duty is to vote, but voting does not have much effectiveness to it, if the citizen does not understand what the politician stands for. Voting is only one half of what citizens have to do to make America united as one again. Politicians today either focus on what the people want to hear, or the politician’s own opinion. Voting used to be a private matter. In other words, people would not know who their neighbor would be voting for, but today everyone knows you are voting for. Citizens like to…

Your success in both your career and in your family life has proven you to be a role model for young women, myself included. You have proved that having tradition values does not limit a women’s success and, in fact, may enhance it.

right-wing parties are typically motivated by religious interest due to contention with left-wing social policies. Both theories could be applicable, however there are a few notable explanations that can be presented for either side. The women that are voting for candidates solely based upon their…
