Elecronic Voting

This political cartoon about voting is aimed to inform the United States voters and mock the United States voting system. In this cartoon the man coming to vote is asking the typical question "will my vote count". Behind the curtain there is a slot machine instead of a voting machine. The idea is that the odds of your vote counting are just as good as your odds of winning on a slot machine. The message is that no one can really be sure that each individual vote counts or if the elections are fixed. It relates to our class discussion and political events today because people are hesitant about voting because they think their vote will not count. Satire and Irony influence the cartoon because the artist decided to use a slot machine which looks like a voting machine.
