US has 'democracy problem': NYC mayor
|
[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,
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."
