Lab 3: How much would you sell your right to vote?

One of the things we, as Americans, take great pride in is our liberty, and extensive list of rights. Among the most basic rights is the right to vote. Although the right to vote is one that many people in the world are not fortunate enough to enjoy, it is something that many Americans take for granted. Many people who are old enough to vote in this country simply don't make the time to get down to the polls, or aren't even registered to vote. Many people function with the idea that one vote simply doesn't make enough of a difference to put forth the effort. However, since so many people think that way, a huge portion of the population doesn't vote, and therefore, their ideas and opinions are not represented. We need to remember just how precious the right to vote is. In this lab, people were asked what they would sell their right to vote for. In the ideal, politically active world, nobody would ever sell their right to vote, but in the world of NCSA people were willing to sell their rights for some pretty interesting compensation.
