		<description><![CDATA[The price of a vote is
quite low these days...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1107/6892.html">Politico</a> (<a href="http://www.matthewgood.org/2007/11/whats-a-vote-worth/">via</a>)</p>
<p>«Two-thirds say they’ll do it for a year’s tuition. And for a few, even an iPod touch will do.</p>
<p>That’s what NYU students said they’d take in exchange for their right to vote in the next presidential election, a recent survey by an NYU journalism class found.<span id="more-288"></span></p>
<p>Only 20 percent said they’d exchange their vote for an iPod touch.</p>
<p>But 66 percent said they’d forfeit their vote for a free ride to NYU. And half said they’d give up the right to vote forever for $1 million.</p>
<p>But they also overwhelmingly lauded the importance of voting.</p>
<p>Ninety percent of the students who said they’d give up their vote for the money also said they consider voting “very important” or “somewhat important”; only 10 percent said it was “not important.”</p>
<p>Also, 70.5 percent said they believe that one vote can make a difference — including 70 percent of the students who said they’d give up their vote for free tuition.</p>
<p>The class — “Foundations of Journalism,” taught by journalism department chairwoman Brooke Kroeger — polled more than 3,000 undergraduates between Oct. 24 and 26 to assess student attitudes toward voting.»</p>
