The problem with voting is simple; people are ignorant to the issues.  Some just don't care to know what it actually is they are voting for and others just vote solely on one issue.  One issue voting is hurting the American way because there are just so many other issues that you need to take into account.  Before you go and vote, you need to do a little bit of homework so you know where your candidate stands.  If you look at just one issue but not the rest, you really don't know who you are voting for.  All you have to do is a little bit of research and find the candidate that best fits your political views.
