Telephone Polls

I believe that it is very important that we focus our attention as a country towards getting more people to vote. The idea of Vote USA does a pretty good job at solving this issue in America. I personally use my phone for most things these days, as does most of my generation. Cellphones are just so convenient for getting things done fast. I agree that voting is something that needs to be done cautiously to avoid fake votes and phones don't seem like a very secure medium for voting. This being said, I have downloaded a PayPal and FirstTennessee app on my phone that have my bank account information on them as well as other personal information. We have evolved consistently with our technology and phones now contain a lot of information that people would like to have secure. Voting through the phone is definitely a great way to get more people voting, and there would definitely still be numerous cases of fake votes, but that happens with the system we currently use. It's definitely a possibility for our country, and Voting USA in particular would be possible because it fits in our budget and doesn't require any technology that is unavailable to us. Voting USA seems to be a well put together app that makes voting as simple as it should be. It is a step in the right direction for our country, especially the younger generations that aren't voting as much as they should. Something that wasn't really mentioned was that voting through our cell phones not only makes it easier for us to vote so more people will vote, but it also makes voting a less formal activity. A lot of the government, including the president and presidential candidates, has taken to twitter for communication. America is a democracy so it shouldn't be weird that we are on a closer level with politicians which helps to keep voices heard. Everybody's voice is heard is heard in a democracy, but Uncle Sam, like most old people, might need you to repeat yourself a few times for him to hear you. Let's bring in the new, hip Uncle Sam that rides a hoverboard with a built in vape and uses memes for propaganda and let's get rid of the old Uncle Sam that probably refers to any video game system as a Nintendo. Voting through the phone is the next step in making America a better democracy.
