New York Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) said on Sunday that Americans would benefit from reformed national voting laws.
“We have a democracy problem,” de Blasio told host John Dickerson on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
“Our elections are governed by state law and for a long time I’ve believed we need to make a fundamental series of reforms,” he said.
“Let’s face it, a lot of the people in the political class have tried to discourage voter involvement and a lot of incumbents prefer a very small electorate,” he added.
De Blasio said he disagrees with Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) that states were the best arbiter for implementing their own voting rules.

Actually, New York has a Che Guevara Sandinista Marxist idiot problem ...
Democrats are constantly complaining about the system we use to select politicians for office. It’s not good enough for them.
Why is it that I get the feeling that his is working with Hillary?
“National voting laws”?
Good lord, this man is the mayor of a major city.
I live in NYC. he looks like big bird, is a Marxist, crime is climbing fast again and I hope the victims are liberals. he wants to be president while his own city goes down again. what a jerk. and his last name is Wilhelm.
Yes, there is far too much of it.
>>a lot of incumbents prefer a very small electorate
Translation: Very small = citizens who haven’t forfeited their right to vote only
the only good thing is that the crime increase isn’t going to affect where I live on Staten Island. no loiterers are welcome. if he thought by changing his name Italians would vote for him he was deadly wrong.
Some should vote more than once while some should be not be allowed to vote at all. The State should pick a candidate and THEN the people can vote./s
Yeah, we have a voting problem here. Only 24% of registered voters turned out for the latest mayoral election, and THAT’S how we ended up with this low class commie piece of trash. I heard that broadcast this morning. He is 100% for redistribution of the wealth of hard-working AMERICANS into the hands of do-nothings, illegals, etc. Why should we work our tails off to better our situations when the do-nothing gibsmedats and illegals get what they want for doing NOTHING?
By all means, let’s get the illiterates voting for who Democrats tell them to!
Ya reckon Wilhelm and Killary are texting?
What national voting laws?
This country has ONE national election every four years, to decide who will be the next POTUS...
All other elections are for state representatives, whether in their own state or in Congress..
The individual states should control these elections, not some bureaucrat in DC...
Of course it’s not good enough for them.Them want a system that will assure victory for them every time.
..like most liberals, he thinks we live in a democracy. I wonder what part of “and for The Republic, for which it stands” he doesn’t understand?
He is making a point here, that in his liberalism, he thinks that any and all problems need to be solved from the top down in Washington, DC.
This is liberalism in a nutshell, that liberals believe that we need federal laws and a federal solution to every conceivable problem. Problems with elections need to be solved in Washington, rather than state or local laws and regulations being implemented.
You could pick just about any issue, and the answer would be more government, more government regulation, more government programs, and that the level of government to deal with said problem is the federal government in Washington, DC. This is their theology.
Have things really changed over the decades? I remember a speech by Reagan in which he said, to paraphrase, that a far off bureaucracy in Washington thinks they can plan our lives better than we can plan our own lives.
The fact that we live in a constitutional republic is lost on liberals. They think we live in a democracy. They don’t understand what a republic is, and since they don’t think we live in a republic, they have decided we live in a democracy.
