http://www.socialvoter.org An evening brainstorming session on the use of social media for voter education Wed, 27 May 2009 17:26:28 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 http://www.socialvoter.org/?p=8&cpage=1#comment-2 Chris Thomas Wed, 27 May 2009 17:26:28 +0000 http://www.socialvoter.org/?p=8#comment-2 Overall, it sounds like a good idea. Of course an issue is that not everyone is online, especially folks in lower-income communities and so there is a great chance that they will be underrepresented. On the other hand, I don't like that the mainstream press (and newspaper editorial boards) having such an overwhelming influence on public opinion and voting so this is definitely worth discussing. Looking forward to it. Overall, it sounds like a good idea.
