With the incentive being student loan payoff, shouldn't we be concerned that this is targeting voters that skew Democrat?

> No one able to vote in the US should be sitting this one out

I disagree. People who haven't taken the time to thoroughly research the candidates should not be encouraged to blindly push a button, especially this year. Most of them will probably be persuaded by fear mongering or partisan mud-slinging.

That's not democracy, it's just mob rule.

This is clearly aimed at getting the vote out in the college / recent grad demographics which is reliably Democratic.

I think you hint at another point -- this phrasing has been coming from everywhere, and the fact that it continues to come from people who tend to support one particular candidate makes me weary of it: "The 2016 US Presidential election feels like the most important one so far in my lifetime" seems like it really is just a euphemism for "Candidate X is really scary, so despite what you think about Candidate Y, we must fall in line and vote for him/her"

Every presidential election is important. Unless the President somehow gained newfound apocalyptical powers, I don't think it is any more or less important than before. You should vote because you want to exercise your right to vote, not because everyone is compelling you of how "important" (a.k.a super duper scary) it is. Telling everyone to "get out and vote" is hardly helpful. We have security experts telling us electronic voting machines are just plain not safe, we have laws that disparage minorities and low-income people from not voting, and worst of all, we have a majority of the population who is completely ignorant or lackisdasical of the numerous blunders and legitimate concerns over both major candidates (at least in my view its the only way to explain the vehement support they continue to receive -- nevermind how awful my person is -- look at how awful yours is! I know you are but what I am! I am rubber you are glue!) These are the real issues we should be trying to address.

This has been the absolute worst election season I have ever experienced on my short time on earth, and everyone older and wiser than me concurs. There has been more mud slinging by both parties, and every side of the media that they make Fox News look "normal".

I am terrified of the choices either candidate is going to make in the near future. Either one will be able to push the supreme court to its most extreme position in history. You may think that be a victory, but life has taught me extremes in one direction or the other are aways bad.

Neither of these two deserve anyone's vote. If anything we should be voting for a constitutional amendment to be able to vote to redo the whole thing and get two new candidates, whatever, anything besides these two.

I know, I know, "vote third party", which is all great and fun, until you get blamed later for being the reason the other party won. Just ask anyone who ever voted for Ralph Nader.

Sorry I am not sorry for posting this rant here. I just am so fed up with our current state of politics.

Same here. This clearly won't work if a decent percentage of people are already registered and it doesn't know that.
