    Do NOT allow gambling on US voting!! There is enough problem with PACs spending enormous amounts of money on elections hiding the identity of donors. We have no idea if foreign countries or others who do not want to see our democracy continue are funneling money into a candidate who agrees with them or not. Gambling turns the most fundamental part of our democracy into a game and diminishes the major importance of the right of every citizen to vote their wishes. Gambling on our voting diminishes the respectability if that right. It gives the impression that members of our country do not take the importance of voting is not a serious responsibility of every citizen. Electing those to lead us is not to be relegated to nothing more than a crapshoot. Do not allow this important right of voting to be diminished to nothing more to some than a betting game! Do not allow big money to have any more ways to influence our elections.
