While channel surfing last night I came across a "Vote, Vote, Vote" PSA. The message was unlike any other voting PSA I've ever seen. To paraphrase:
"Come on Georgia...get out and VOTE, VOTE, VOTE! Oh and btw, once you do, your vote becomes public record. But VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!"
So why am I wondering if this is voter intimidation in the form of a PSA?
-
I'm suspicious of everything now that I'm awake.

I feel like it was a message directed specifically at the D's who plan to vote RED. "Get out and vote...and WE WILL KNOW HOW YOU VOTED...but VOTE!"
Thoughts?
Voting is supposed to be private. It used to be considered a sacred right. The only reason it's public now is the damn computers. Paper ballots to be filled in by hand should be brought back.
I'm sure there's a specific crowd for whom this is a warning.
As if public records are bad.
No, I don't think public records are bad...at all. But I will bet that most people, at least the sheep, don't know their vote will be public record. So why tell everyone now...just when you might be thinking of voting for "the other guy"...that was my point.
It is time for voters to be let in on the truth. IMHO.
