Sajak asks:
[S]hould state workers be able to vote in state elections on matters that would benefit them directly? The same question goes for federal workers in federal elections.
He raises the specter of a supposed "conflict of interest".

Screw that noise. As a public employee, I already have significant limitations on my ability to participate in the political process. To suggest that I be barred from certain votes because I might benefit from a particular outcome betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the very concept of election, not to mention democracy itself.

I can think of several vowels I'd like to buy, and consonants to enclose them.
