Why? What is wrong about our
election process?
The Bishops mention the following evils that
are happening before elections:
 |
switching
party affiliations for the sake of political ambition; |
 |
getting
media exposure by any means, including bribing willing journalists; |
 |
using
public funds for political advertisements; |
 |
using
government bureaucracy for campaigning; |
 |
being
"wined, dined, and womened" at convention time in order to
win votes; |
 |
spending
enormous amounts of funds, accountable and unaccountable, before and
during the campaign period; |
 |
making
campaigns more of an entertainment circus for people and of black
propaganda rather than discussion of issues; |
 |
people
in turn ask for countless donations from candidates; |
 |
people
registering more than once in different precincts. |
