[Iran Press TV] The United States is confronted with a "democracy problem," which might be solved through reforming national voting laws, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio says.

"We have a democracy problem in this country, we have declining voter turnout," de Blasio said on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday.

Perhaps because the voters see through you and yours...

"Our elections are governed by state law and for a long time," he said, adding "we need to make a fundamental series of reforms".

To ensure one-party control...

Many US politicians have sought "to discourage voter involvement and a lot of incumbents prefer a very small electorate," he noted.

The incumbents on both sides prefer that. The rest of it is just him looking in a mirror...

On Thursday, Gov. Chris Christie, a potential candidate for 2016 election,

sez who?

had an argument with his Democratic presidential contender

Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminence and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Abel P. Upshur ...
over New Jersey's voting laws.

During her speech last week, Clinton slated several Republican governors by name for trying to depress turnout among young and minority voters.

Clinton said that early voting rules should be expanded, calling for automatic voter registration at the age of 18. However,
there's more than one way to stuff a chicken...
Christie said Clinton does not understand what "she's talking about."

#1 Actually, we have a Republic with an idiot problem like you and those that vote for you.

You do not know ANYTHING, yet so haughty to preach as everyone flees your land to vote for more idiots in MINE.

When they flee you, you know you are a dumb tyrant. At least they have somewhere to go for now,
to flee
from you communist know nothing tyrants from the bowels of nothing but special interest a$$holes.

#2 Too much democracy, not enough republic.

The passions of the mob rules our politics which is why the founding fathers made it a republic to neutralize the passions of the mob.

They didn't count on a 24/h news feed....

#4 During her speech last week, Clinton slated several Republican governors by name for trying to depress turnout among young and minority voters.

The message here is clear. Pub politics at the local, state level is evil, racist, and corrupt....according to the Beest and the entrenched beltway power elites.

No mention made of the period of Clinton controlled Arkansas, present day Chicago, or New York of course.

#5 Newspeak for today:

white privilege = democracy
diversity = oligarchy, autocracy, aristocracy, et al

Remember, these reds were all for 'black majority rule in South Africa' when it suited their agenda, but to hell with 'white majority rule in America'. When your program is to disenfranchise the majority, it's just another form of apartheid, but approved and practiced by the Left.

#8 I do agree we need a federal election law. The law should say if you attempt to vote in a Federal election but are ineligible, or have already voted, you must serve a mandatory 10 years in prison and lose the right to vote thereafter.

#9 Someone once told me that you demonstrate how serious you consider a law by the punishment you place behind it. Meaning a slap on the wrist means you don't really care.

Right now we aren't doing even that for illegal voting or for illegal aliens.
5 to 10 for knowingly casting an illegal vote and 10-20 for knowingly facilitating an illegal vote sounds about right.
But then we would have to build a lot more prisons to house all the Democrats (and not a few Republicans).
