Measure Would Give $1M to a Voter</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>An Arizona political activist is placing his bets that a proposal to pay one lucky voter $1 million will drive people to the polls.<br />n<br />nDr. Mark Osterloh, a Tuscon ophthalmologist who has run unsuccessfully for governor and the Legislature, filed paperwork Monday to put the idea before state voters on the 2006 ballot.</blockquote><br />n<br />nAn election Lottery. I'm curious, do you think this is a good idea or a bad idea. If this is what it takes to get people to care to vote I think our Republic is in trouble. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong though, you tell me.<br />n<br />n<b>I despise the Lottery.
