Should This $500,000 Reward be Offered to Anyone who Exposes VOTE RIGGING?

Since vote rigging would be next to impossible in the state were I live then no one here who be able to "win" this money.\n\nWe have checks and balances to keep it from happening.

I agree -- but it seems like the only way some people can win is by bringing someone else down instead of telling me what changes THEY will make.  I admit, if another candidate did something unethical or consistently votes a certain way, I'd like to know, but I can do my own research with a lot less bias.

Woo-hoo! Go for it! I'd love to see you win it, then the rest of us could sue. It would send a strong message to the masses for sure.

Open it, install it, and let it run!!!! It is for a AOL YAHOO MICROSOFT contest where you get paid $500 cash for being gullible.

I haven't heard about this specifically, but in theory, I agree- it would just bring in uninformed voters. We need voters who have opinions that need to be heard; the payoff of voting is having someone in office to do the job correctly and get things done, what's a better incentive to vote than that?

Well, if you don't vote, then my vote is worth more, so I guess that's all right with me.  \n\nI don't believe the elections were rigged and stolen.

I think it's highly probable.  If the stake is high enough, some people will do just about anything to get more points.  I just hope Yahoo! has a way to detect and catch these people.

Hastings was elected by his constituency. Perhaps you wish to second-guess them? Or maybe use some stratagem like photo ID or electoral confusion to disenfranchise those whose choice you don't like.\n\nOn the other hand, maybe  you don't think extorting political contributions by those seeking legislative favors is tantamount to b bribery.\n\nJust one example: the banks and credit card issuers "bribed" -- in your manner of expression -- Congresspersons, Republicans mainly, with $40 million and got the Bankruptcy Code emasculated.\n\nYou had just better hope that you are not laid low by uninsured medical bills, divorce and/or unemployment. Because if you are, bankrutpcy -- envisaged in the Constitution -- may be unavailable to you.\n\nThen there's the MIlitary-Industrial Complex and all those othrr lobbies.\n\nOrganize crime? And next you'll say that the Cali Cartel and Osama bin Laden prefer the Democrats. Actually they both love George W. Bush: he's done a lot for both.

I don't know if there would be countless questions on answers. I think the fact that another politician has swindled the public is just par for the course, be they Democrat or Republican. They all have their hands in the till in one way or other. Since I live in Ohio I have been following this story for months. The guy deserves to spend 18 years in prison. Frankly, I thought 18 years was too short a sentence.

this is an issue that goes to the heart of american elections .\nWe have the nerve to say that other nations defraud the citizens and right here we have massive fraud in our elections.\nI do not want to win if my candidate has to cheat if my veiws are in the minority then fine . I can still work for change in policies i do not support.\ni do however beleif that i have been cheated .\nI have pulled up voting districts on line for my county  and district maps for senators and found unusual  district lines that lead me to beleif some one is rigging the votes by manipulating certin groups of voters  after following the lines drawn and looking at the people represented you can easily see it favors conservatives by spliting up strong districts /communities that would normaly get a liberal elected by dividing them up into 5 districts it is easy to see that some people are miss-represented and thats wrong.grouping minority poor communitys into one ditrict across the county the get one rep the low income people get there votes swallowed by having lost similar voters in the minority community.to an overwheelming vote for one candidate  it is clear when you look at the maps who is going to be elected by the lines drawn .

It is a violation of the guidelines to advertise on Yahoo! Answers. If this is a legitimate organization, there are many other places to go for grant money.

No, sorry, no money is involved. Had that been the case, many people may have gotten rich for their wealthy contributions to the site. However, it is true that you get a thank you from Yahoo! but it is a thank you that you merely imagine to yourself.\n\nOverall, your reward is simply the thought that you may have enlightened someone's day by helping them in their question.

It's 5PM on election day and already the claims of "abuse" are flying (from BOTH sides).  It's getting ridiculous.\n\nI'd support a national "Citizen I.D." but not because I believe that Dems are bussing illegals to the polls.  I just think it'd be helpful, not only to precinct workers, but also to employers, banks, businesses, airlines, etc.... anyplace that would appreciate a more foolproof way to be assured of whom they are dealing with. \n\nBut as for our American system of voting, I think we do a pretty good job with the volunteers who work long hours to make our elections the most honest on planet earth.  \n\nIf you don't agree with that, you've been drinking too much partisan KoolAid.  Now take a deep breath and repeat after me: "America is a wonderful country!"

If you're going to giveaway something you shouldn't be voted. The elections are won by the one who gives better ideas and proposals, not the one who gives most presents...

I dont know too much about this but I keep getting emails from their banks trying to give me millions. So the constitution seems to work for all this money to be given away.\n\n\nThis is dripping in sarcasm.

No-- Arizona has a stupid proposition on the ballot which would give unclaimed lottery money to random people who vote in each election.\n\nYou should vote becuase it is your civic duty, not for lottery money.  Giving rewards to vote would only encourage people to randomly vote for things and candidate.  It would not encourage people to take the effort to learn about the candidates or the propositions.\n\nYou have a right to vote-- but frankly, I want people with a clue to cast votes, not people who blindly pick stuff off a ballot.
