Has anyone watched the YouTube Democratic Debates? Any responses about the format or quality of questions and answers?
Here is a clip about standardized voting, which, if I were a single issue voter, would be the issue that I voted on. We need to have a verifiable, anonymous way to vote. Personally, I think it should work like an ATM machine: slide in your voting card, type in your pin, vote, get a receipt with your votes and an id to verify your votes on-line. Easy, cheesy.

I haven’t seen the whole debate- just some snippets that were on the news the next day. Seems ridiculous to me that thousands of people sent in questions and then a panel of “CNN” people selected the questions to air - 25 questions from literally thousands of entries. If this really were a democratic debate, the online community should have had an opportunity to vote on which questions to air. As it is, the debate questions reflect no more than the decisions of CNN with a “populous” face and trendy delivery. A ploy. Not a real step forward by the media or by our politicians to connect with the voters in a meaningful way.
