We are voting for the legislature (senate and the house). Some, not all, of the members of both are up for re-election. Since most people in the US think that the legislature has done a horrible job, most incumbents are behind.

Depending on what state/district you live in, you are also voting for Governor, state reps, and direct ballot questions.

what is this "voting" you speak of? If I do it, do I win a prize like a new car or briefcase full of money?
Hank's tenure at Soulsuckers, INC, LLC, DBA TBD, had not been long, but it had been distinguished... By drunkenness, hair-trigger violence, and a total lack of performance. I would call it a steady decline in performance, but that would imply that he performed at one point in time. In fact he had not. He was drunk.

In Arizone, yeah, maybe...PROP. 200:
AZ Voter Reward Act
Would create a lottery with a $1 million prize for people who vote in the primary or general election. It would be funded through unclaimed state lottery prizes.

that's horrible
it essentially makes voting worth like a quarter to someone
it would be better if you got in the lotto by not voting
anyone who doesn't think voting is worth a quarter shouldnt vote

I think that is digusting. It would just bring idiots to the polls, who would elect more idiots into office.

That's one of the things I don't like about MTV's voting campaigns: only a retard is voting because Gideon Yago told him to. I'm sure the same sound logic he used to get to the polls will be applied once he's inside. God help us all.

Man, we disagree here. That's probably the ONLY thing I like about MTV. Period.
