Threats and harmful bills have already been detrimental to our nations democracy. Why would we want to allow LEGALIZED ELECTION GAMBLING??? Is this a path we really want to go down as a democracy?
Here are a number of reasons to end this threat to the integrity of our democracy:
* Allowing this proposal will undermine the integrity of our elections and our democracy.
* 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.
Thank you,
