I think it would certainly give voters a more unbiased way of looking at the candidates and also a chance to see how the candidates really stand on the issues. Some voters are persuaded to vote for a candidate just because that person is of the party that they are registered for, and it’s not based on that candidate’s positions. Participating in the blind poll would force them to blindly choose a candidate based on their position on an issue and it could lead the voter to re-evaluate who they vote for, based on something that’s more important, the issues. It would also force candidates to reveal their positions and place more importance on the issues, and hopefully make them a more important component in voters’ decisions.rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18220800276572928096noreply@blogger.com
