Why play?

 

The problem in Washington

It's no secret that our politicians in Washington are divided. When elected officials refuse to work together, important work doesn't get done and we all suffer.

 

Why? Too few primary voters

Most people ignore primary elections. The result of such low turnout is the potential for a small minority of the population to shape the political reality of the non-voting majority.

 

Restoring representation

Getting more people involved in primary elections will increase our collective democratic health. By engaging lots of new people in primary elections our hope is to bring in people who aren't currently being represented in this process, to make the primary electorate look more like the American people.

 

Who wins?

vMOBilize isn't about who's going to win the election. It's about who's going to win the game. This game. Which team is going to get the most people to vote in this election? And, oddly enough, the more new people who vote in primaries, the more we all win.
