Arkansas Senate Debate: on Technology


Mike Huckabee: Opposes public electronic voting; wouldn’t focus on issues

Television is a wonderful communications tool and will help to communicate issues to the voters, but it would be impossible to have an effective and fairly administered two-way communication system in which the public could vote electronically on major issues. In addition, issues might be decided on the basis of which groups could most effectively communicate by television, not which groups really presented the most convincing and/or constitutionally sound arguments.
