Here's the setup for the Poll: Pretend for a moment if you will, you haven't voted yet or your state provides a quick and easy process to switch your vote.

A week before the election for the highest office in the land, the candidate you were NOT going to vote for, calls a press conference and pledges if elected they and their party will work hard until all state lotteries are playable by Internet from anywhere.

If this were to happen, would you change your vote? Yes or No?

I wouldn't,... Unfortunately over 200,000 American's lives were gambled away by #45..!! A lottery no one wants to win..!!

I'd also think there's something to be said of such a Candidate... there's more important things than playing a Lottery Game... from anywhere...!!

Delirious Congress even has failed to see that he's failed to carry out the MAIN duties of that Office... to protect the American people..!!

and that's why all the Squirrels are moving to D.C..... Why?............

Because they've heard,.. theres a BIG Nut in the White House...!!!

In 2012 one of the major political parties had an anti-online gambling plank on their platform, but was removed in 2016. Saying "we'll work hard" getting it done means nothing until it is done. Somebody has the percentages of campaign promises kept and it's probably not very high.

In 1928 Herbert Hoover promised "a chicken in every pot and two cars in every garage" and by the end of his term most Americans didn't even have car or "a pot to pee in".

Voting based on a single issue is usually a bad idea, but it would take a special kind of stupid to make your decision because a candidate is in favor of letting you play the lottery online.

Voted no for several reasons. (1) it's a promise they can't keep because lotto laws are left up to the states for the most part, (2) it could cause budget problems for small states if their residents could play TX/CA/NY lotteries instead of the smaller in-state games, (3) gambling is just not that important to me compared to other things.

It's not like we all don't have better things to do then play lotto. However, where but for here are there people more interested in playing the lottery to win, who see the grass as greener on the other side of the state line. I for one would like to be able to play some other games without paying a carrying charge. Would it be enough for me to switch my vote, should'a put a third poll option, MAYBE.

Whichever candidate wins the squirrels won't be disappointed.

Yea, I see your point of view...

It's just that the Candidate's lottery view wouldn't be enough reason for me to change my vote...even if offered by #45..!

I,.. like you, would love the opportunity to play other lottery Games from other States online, but from what I've seen, as in Pwrball & MM... it's too expensive..!!

Heck, I'll be the first to admit that I was salivating over that Texas Lotto Game at over a $42 Million or more..!!.. and was about to visit Relatives there, til it was won..

In fact , that's exactly what I'll do, after my first Jackpot win...

Stalk the Stats... wherever the biggest State Jackpots are..!!

Interesting poll. I voted no. I was born an irredeemable before I started to play the lottery.

Never give up.

There are people that flip a coin before voting so voting on a single issue is just another form of being indecisive. It's similar to the people on ventilators reading where the White House science office said Trump ended Covid-19.

Wonder if they will change their vote?

Those answering in a hyperbolic partisan fashion are clear examples of the ignorance of the majority of voters- frightening when taken in context that even the founders knew the tenuousness of keeping the republic intact. Money and power are the two most corrupting influencing factors on flawed humans. Where is the most money and power concentrated in the world? No wonder Washington is such a swamp of corruptness. Who has a better chance of change- an insider or an outsider? Voting for Biden? Look up Bobulinsky's hard evidence, coupled with Hunter's laptop, and then produce a convincing argument that Biden has a higher moral standing than bad orange man. The swamp is wide and deep. God help us.
