The issue is moot, the election is moo«,
the results will be meaningless except
to further polarize our community, so
the halUx remains untouched
I don't intend to write about how ill
adv ised it was to call the election in the
first place tan election in November on
an issue which was decided in (V
tober) Nor how pretentious it was to
believe that a referendum in Morrow
Count) would have any ctlcct at all on
a state w ide issue (le t's put the federal
budget on the ballot in Morrow Coun
tv Maybe we van balance the thing »
Nor how our elected representatives
were modvaled more bv their own re election ambitions than by their devo
tion to the public vers ice wc have already entrusted to them (Imagine the
County Court putting up every decision we expect them to make for a
popular vote I
W hat bothers me more than all those- things is ihc current, popular trend
toward increasing vixer participation How often have we heard some
political figure decry the low percentage of voter turn out "Only 27 per-
ccni of the voters casts ballots on the
issue Dial's terrible We must
do something to increase that percentage
The conventional wisdom is thai an election is better it a high prreen
lage of voters participate ami the conserve is also accepted as true an elec
tion is had or worse it the percentage ot participation is low Believing
that conventional wisdom, many lolks have expended much eltort to in
crease ihc percentage ot participation "Get out the vixe." is the buzz
word o! the day
And these mail ballots are the ultimate in the effort to increase viXcr
'participation It is no longer necessary to lx- present on election day. go
to your poling place ami mark a ballot With the mail ballot, vou have
to do very little Just wail until it'v delivered to your door, matk it at your
Icisuie right in your own home any time over a week or ten days ami then
drop it in the mail
•\m! it seems that the mail ballot has increased the percentage of v,xer
participation
Bui has ii improved the qualilv ot the results’ No Probably the quality
ot the results has declined
It 500 volets would go to the jvolls to vote and it 7«Hi would cast mail
ballots shouldn't we ask ourselves why ’ Some, of course, would be out
of town on election dav. some are physically infirm, some would have
any number of iXher reasons why they simply could not nuke it to the
polls on that particular day
Most, however, would lx- those tolks who cared so little about the issue
or candidate that they would not expend the little hit ot effort required
to go to the polls, hut since it was so easy they will cast a mail halhx
And on what basis do they make their decision? Whim, emotion, misin
formation or perhaps iust one little hit ot information "I like this guy.
his first name is the same as ms old uncle " I always vote ‘no.........I
don't know this tellow
Mv tincome) taxes are loo high " You know
the stult that prompts the uninformed, disinterested, casuul vixer
It d«x-s rvX appear to me that gmxl government conies from enticing max
imum numbers of voters to vote based on their casual whim II they do
not base the incentive to go to the polls, their mail in votes may well result
in more hail government than we can stand
