Please do not allow betting on US elections. Allowing gambling on elections is a terrible detriment to the public interest and the integrity of elections. and therefore to the basic functioning of democracy and our nation.
Allowing betting on election outcomes will create strong financial incentives for special interests to manipulate and interfere in our elections.
Allowing this proposal will reduce voter confidence, and lead to a perception that election outcomes are not solely determined by voters’ choices, but also by those who bet on election results.
Allowing this proposal puts personal gain ahead of the public interest.
Allowing this proposal undermines the principle of one person, one vote – the bedrock of our democracy.
Please immediately reject this proposal in the most complete and certain terms.
Thanks you.
