Letters: Duping voters

Re “Accentuating the negative,” Opinion, July 8

The onslaught of political ads that offer these “swing voters” misinformation relies on an electorate that invites all of this political claptrap. In lieu of regularly following politics and world affairs, too many of our fellow citizens believe that they can suddenly tune in a few months before the November election and get caught up.

This kind of political spam would disappear quickly if voters would consistently stay informed. But it’s all about priorities, and we would rather be entertained than educated.

How sad this is for the nation.
