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 […]
As I continued to scan the article I thought to myself, “Our current voting system is broken.”Stuck between paper ballots and other outdated voting systems America’s election infrastructure is lagging behind. Outdated voting machines, complex state laws that have made ID verification difficult, and accusations of voter fraud are not unique to the California primary. […]

DC […]

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. This is now being exposed as inaccurate polls are being released after the presidential debates. How much more will it take […]

Many people agree that they simply do not have enough time to research candidates properly and are ultimately uninformed on current events. This leads to opinions being made without sufficient research and facts. Thanks to technology there are some tools that help condense the current campaign promises from each of the candidates running for office […]
There always seems to be a decently large gap between what candidates promise to do and what actually gets done in office. Many are blaming the fact that the House majority is of one political party affiliation and the executive is of the other political party. President Obama talked about how bipartisanship would correct these […]
The invention of social media has been remarkable for political activism. Hashtags have catalyzed grass roots movements abroad and domestically as well.
