With 42% of precincts in, CNN has just reported that Hillary Clinton won the DC Primary with a huge majority of the vote. At this rate, Hillary Clinton will net at least 14 or 15 delegates, with a margin so wide that she would have won by a larger margin than any Bernie Sanders win except in […]

Outdated voting machines, complex state laws that have made ID verification difficult, and accusations of voter fraud are not unique to the California primary. […]

Voting machines are outdated and compromising the very purpose they were designed to fulfill. With insecure methods, the very fabric of our political system is at stake. There is one machine however that is even worse than the already treacherously low standard for voting equipment. This type of machine is called the AVS WinVote and […]
The primaries are an often overlooked but important part of which candidate becomes the president of the United States. There is an interesting rule however that states that you can only vote for a candidate in the party for which you are registered to vote under. This rule makes it so that you are forced […]
The 2016 presidential election is exposing a lot of the shortcomings in our democratic process and how bipartisan politics mixed with antiquated methods of voting have made for a rather corrupt current political climate.
