Very funny concept that may in fact be practical. However, here's the problem as I see it. If there is no expiration on voting dollars and they in fact roll-over like so many unused cellphone minutes Election results will be skewed to favor older voters who tend to vote more conservatively because they have not used there allotment in previous elections. <BR/>It also begs the questions. What if I save up all my election dollars for fifty years and then up and die the day before the election? can I will these voting dollars to my children?<BR/>Of course, some idiot will figure out ways to corner the market on these things and eventually become the Bill Gates of voting dollars forcing Vista on the American people via constitutional amendment. <BR/>No I think they must be non-transferable and have a one election expiration.Spudrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10971127339710968290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18011646.post-52006276030221151482007-10-26T09:01:00.000-04:002007-10-26T09:01:00.000-04:00Enough of the channelbf.com spam, please.
