Frankly, when the headline-grabbing campaign news becomes whether or not a candidate for sheriff could or could not raffle off a shotgun at a fundraiser, only a sense of civic duty is left to encourage voter participation.
By the way, what’s the “message” in making the prize a shotgun? Citizens are on their own in defending their castles and need to be armed at all times? Wouldn’t raffling off a home-security system be both more civilized and effective?
