Nevada: Not Just Another Opinion Poll
Daniel Rosen, a candidate for the second congressional district of Nevada, hopes to win his seat with the help of Nevada Vote Direct. Nevada Vote Direct is a breaking digital technology that allows constituents of the district to register and vote on a full range of issues without restriction or limitation simply by logging on the Net. And get this…. Rosen pledges to vote in Congress exactly as the citizens of his district have voted online via the Vote Direct website.
Polls are open all day everyday and voters may also choose to vote via secure telephone line. Membership is to open to all voters in the district and voting is a right not a requirement. This system aims to allow citizens to exercise control over how their representative in Congress votes on legislation.
Nevada Vote Direct marks a milestone in the history of political campaigns and the Internet. This voting system is the first application of digital technology designed to make the government responsive to its citizens.
