Should the masses be able to vote for Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain and others via cell phone and receive political party information via text messaging?

At least 20,000 youth voters say so, according to a new survey released this week by Virgin Mobile.

The survey results of one of the first mobile election polls via text message, which came overwhelmingly from voters aged 18 to 25, said voters wanted their voice heard not from their mouths but using their fingers.

About 40 percent voted for Barack Obama with 18 percent putting their fingers on Hillary Clinton, 8 percent on John McCain, 5 percent undecided and 2 percent voting for another candidate. Read the full survey results here.
