One Million To Vote?
This is utterly
amazing to me.
(AP) An Arizona political activist is placing his bets that a proposal to pay one lucky voter $1 million will drive people to the polls.
Dr. Mark Osterloh, an ophthalmologist who has run unsuccessfully for governor and the Legislature, filed paperwork Monday to put the idea before state voters on the 2006 ballot.
"Who do you know that doesn't want to be a millionaire? What's the worst thing that could happen? Everybody who's eligible to vote could be voting," he said.
I need to think about this. I just see this not working ethically right out of the hatch or at least that's my gut reaction to this news.
