We have the infrastructure and technology already in place to have 100% voter "turnout" if everyone just used Twitter. But then we might have a real outsider get elected, as this DC comic suggests. Here's their description:
"America's first teenaged president is on the job in this contemporary twist on a DC classic!
Oregon teen Beth Ross has just been elected President of the United States of America. Age restrictions were abolished when corporations gained the right to run for office and voting booths have been replaced by Twitter, making just about anyone eligible for the nation's top job, including the viral-video-famous Corndog Girl!
Now the eyes of the nation are on Beth. But in a world so out of control that the poor are willing to shoot themselves on TV for a chance at a better life, will even the new president have the power needed to overthrow the nation's true leaders-Boss Smiley and his corporate shadow government?
Writer Mark Russell (God Is Disappointed in You) teams with artists Ben Caldwell (JUSTICE LEAGUE BEYOND) and Mark Morales (X-Force, Secret Invasion) to revive and reinvent a classic! Collects PREZ #1-6 and SNEAK PEEK: PREZ #1."
The only appearance of Prez Beth Ross missing from this collection is the Catwoman: Election Night (2016) #1 issue, 42 Pages with Print Release Date 2 Nov 2016. This is also available as a digital copy on Comixology for $5 or less when on sale. -~~ Mike Griffin
