With regards to voting...?

Question

As a voter, or if you are someone who doesn't NOW vote, would you prefer a system of voting that would allow YOU to vote on individual topics?

For example, if you could go to a web portal and be informed by your rep in congress what bills are in committee, your reps vote and the rationale for it and then you can vote on that individually. It would give you the option to vote:

1. How your congressman would vote;
2. Always vote how Republicans vote on this topic;
3. Always vote how Democrats vote on this topic'
4. Vote my way (choices of "For" or "Against")

You can also weigh topics of level of importance.

This system would also report to users how many votes have been cast, what percentages are voting what and the scheduled time to vote will take on the floor.

And then your rep would have to vote how the plaurality of the district voted.

Would that be something you would like?

Why or why not?

Any other suggestions?

Thank you for your time,
Billy!

Answer 1

too much effort for the majority of Americans. most don't educate themselves about the issues that has an impact on their lives. most don't take the time to educate themselves about who they vote for,an R or D is what influences their vote.

Answer 2

Such a system, while ideal, will never work, simply because not enough people care to vote. They don't care enough to vote now when elections are only once a year, so they certainly wouldn't do it on a regular basis. If such a system exists, you would be getting very skewed responses, simply because the only people who will be voting are political junkies or people with personal agendas.

Answer 3

no...your rep would vote how the money that got him elected wants him to vote....
