i worry about people voting for corrupted politicians for no other reason than name recognition instead of voting on values and issues.

The things that concern me are:

People who vote based solely on race and GENDER.

The electronic voting machines that happen to always "malfunction" in states that a democrat needs

Hell... electronic machines that malfunction period

People who won't vote

People who will vote, but are not informed on the issues.
