I’m torn on single issue voting.
It’s good to have focus, especially if it’s a topic which is that important to you.
But it can certainly backfire if the candidate that supports your single issue has all kinds of bad things in their past or present (e.g., Roy Moore in Alabama).
I hope that in the not-too-distant future, single issue voters can also find out clearly where their second, third, or fourth issues are in the priority of things a legislator will try to accomplish. That way, they can decide if that single issue really does outweigh the candidate’s other priorities.
Seems like a good use of a kanban-like system to rate the priorities for what an elected official wants to do, and track what is currently in progress. Has anyone seen an elected official use this to inform their constituents?
