    We are writing to express our opposition to Election Gambling because:

    ---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
    democracy.

    Thank you for your attention.
