Vote! You might win $1,000,000!

A.F. Flogger predicts that Arizona's voter lottery will provoke a Republican backlash.

Arizona proposes to give everyone who votes a lottery ticket for a $1,000,000 prize. Since lotteries appeal to poor people more than to rich ones, and poor people are less likely to vote Republican than rich ones, such a lottery will likely not be popular among the Busheviks.

Can't you see it now? Poor voters in Ohio hardly turned a hair at being disenfranchised. But what if they'd been prevented from getting a lottery ticket?
