Voting Made Easier

In my opinion, the Vote USA app was the best presentation thus far. They really addressed and found the most reasonable solution to the non-voting people in today's society. Since the voting process is becoming less significant and unexciting, I feel that this app will solve all those problems. The voting process is so outdated and you would think that with all the new technology being innovated that the this would actually be already created. Making this voting app into reality will be beneficial in so many ways. One thing is that it will draw in more young voters. Since we are known to be the millennial, it is safe to say that technology is our new way of living. We are always on our phone laptop, iPad and any new social media that is out. If the voting process was to be formed into a safe and secured app, it will attract younger voters. We wouldn't have an excuse not to vote since it would be only by the tap of a finger. Also if this app was to become reality, it would eliminate all the hassles people have to go through. For examples, the voting registration process, going to your right voting location and standing in long lines. Also if one doesn’t have transportation to get to their voting site or even too busy to do it, the app will relieve all of the stress of trying to get to your voting site in such circumstances. During the presentation, I found it interesting that the younger votes matter. We are consisted of 1/3 of the voting population. This significant considering the fact that many young people actually don’t vote but we can actually make a difference.

One thing that the app may have concerns about was the hacking, but the group addressed that very smart I may add. Since we trust technology enough for us to do online shopping and share sensitive information online why not do it to vote. It is not like we don't do it anyways. In all, I love the whole aspect of Vote USA. They made the app simple and easy to use, less stressful and convenient. They not only thought about the new generation with addressing the problem but the old to by providing walk though videos and simplistic detailing. I would love to actually have an app like this one. I feel that with this app that it will put greater weight on actually voting for everyone young and old.
