| Summary |
"The way we vote is broken. Poll after poll reveals that most Americans agree on major issues--gun control, climate change, healthcare--but low voter turnout keeps our elected officials on the far ends of the political spectrum and unable to compromise. Every policy output is the result of political input, and our inputs are not representative. Our voting system is heavily influenced by special interests among politicians who worry about their next elections and little else. The technology exists to fix this problem by drastically increasing voter turnout: mobile voting. We do just about everything on our phones, but we can't use them to vote. But since 2018, mobile voting pilots and audits have taken place in 21 elections and 7 states. This technology has the ability to exponentially increase voter turnout and restore faith in the promise of a representative democracy where compromise and bipartisanship are possible. This book introduces the history, opposition, and potential of mobile voting to generate grassroot support and encourage us to seize the solution we already have"-- Provided by publisher. |
