Our Verdict
My personal opinion is that if somebody wants to vote, they should be able to so it’s nice to see programs such as this help people get to the polls that would otherwise be unable to. The bigger issue is that something like this program is needed in the first place. There will of course be people that take issue with a program like this as you can effectively target groups that you know/suspect will vote with a particular leaning. Again that would be solved by not needing a program like this in the first place.
Please keep discussion to this actual promotion/program, rather than your own political ideology. I suspect I’ll have to close the comments on this post, but please at least try to stay on topic.
