Question to debate: Should a voter be required to declare an issue to an election official before voting? A voter should have to declare at least one issue that matters to him/her. He/she would not have to declare where he/she stands on the issue, but rather just the issue. For example, when the voter enters the voting building he/she could just say "taxes" instead of having to say "I am voting for a candidate that has promised low taxes. This would help to prevent some voters from voting such as voters who only vote based on a candidate's physical features and/or how many times the voters have seen signs that say "Vote for (name of candidate)". By declaring issues that matter, voters would actually think about why they're voting.
