2016 General Election to Be Conducted on Social Media
To celebrate the return of DU, here's this:
Social Media Election Venues Get Nod from Congress - Obama to Sign
by
Otto Cliker
In a sweeping, almost unanimous move, both the House and Senate have passed emergency legislation that will change how Americans vote forever. Ted Cruz, the junior Senator from Texas and erstwhile primary candidate for the Republican nomination, explained the reasoning behind this legislation: "The American People™ have spoken loudly and clearly. They no longer want to go to their precinct polling places to cast their votes. They want to vote on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and other social media websites. In the quest for fairness for which Congress is well known, we're going to make that possible."
The new legislation, which President Barack Obama says he will sign, since Congress would override his veto, would shift elections to more accessible and popular venues. Voters will navigate to their favorite social media site and vote for their favorite candidate in polls administrated by the various websites. Even Pinterest will offer a voting opportunity, by allowing its members to post photos of the candidate they support.
When asked whether this might not lead to unfair voting or vote-counting issues, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said, "Heck no. People want to vote. Let them vote. What could go wrong?" Some election fraud monitors question whether or not people might vote more than once. Scalia answered their concerns with this, "Hey! If people are smart enough to game the online voting process, God bless them. We need more smart people voting. They know what The American People™ really want."
How will this new voting method affect the outcome? That remains to be seen, of course. How will people who lack access to broadband Internet access vote? Donald Trump, a leading Republican candidate, answered tersely, "Let those idiots vote at the library. They don't matter anyhow. Their votes won't count, since the computers they will use have the same Internet address. Their votes will be discarded. Who cares what they think?"
One thing appears to be certain: Elections will never be the same again. Will it be a good thing or a major disaster? At newsyoushouldntbelieve.com, we encourage everyone to click for their favorite candidate and see what happens. It couldn't hurt.
