The idea that election outcomes could become the subject of gambling operations is disgusting.
To allow betting on elections would undermine the dignity and importance of our elections and pose huge potential for corruption at all levels.
It would also add to the pessimism about the integrity of our elections among people who have been manipulated by opponents to democracy in the U.S. and thus would further undermine their accuracy and integrity by discouraging those qualified voters.
We need to educate our children to the importance of out elections to their future. Turning them into a gambling opportunity would do the reverse and encourage cynicism about our democracy.
