Journal Pan T. Hose's Journal: Foreigners Influencing US Presidential Election 1
In a recent Guardian article, Oliver Burkeman thoroughly explains how non-Americans could hypothetically have a chance of influencing the outcome of the United States Presidential Election by writing to undecided voters in the crucial state of Ohio and contacting the US media. In the first three days after publishing, more than 11,000 people requested addresses, but many strong voices of protest from the US readers have showed that despite foreigners attempt to meddle in US affairs it appears that Americans have their minds quite made up even in swing states such as Ohio. It has provided, however, an interesting insight into a way how American voters can influence others, thus having their voice heard and making the vote itself more meaningful. As this article shows, a single individual US voter has more power and more responsibility than voting alone, as an American and as a citizen, but nevertheless voting is the most important duty.
