Voters don't really want to hear the dirt

Voters don't really want to hear the dirt

Once again, another election season is here and once again the campaigns are like usual - he said, she said.

The election commissions complain because there's always low voter turnout, but yet the way Illinois politicians campaign, it don't give voters the incentive to go out and vote. Anybody can go out and dig up dirt on some one, but that's not what the voter wants to hear. The voter wants to know what each candidate is going to do to during his term in office, if he's elected, whether he's the incumbent or not.

The only thing Governor Quinn does is brag about what he's accomplished (which really isn't much to brag about) or cut up the Republican candidate. This is not what we as the voter wants to hear.

Until Illinois politicians start changing the way the campaign, the only choice the Illinois voter will have is to choose the lesser of two evils and most likely voter turnout will remain low.
