36  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.
