Voters cannot hold officials responsible if they do not know what government is doing, or which parts of government are doing what.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When governments become large, voters cannot exercise close oversight, otherwise known as political power.
Leaders are responsible not for running public opinion polls but for the consequences of their actions.
In a democracy, citizens pass judgment on their government, and if they are kept in the dark about what their government is doing, they cannot be in a position to make well-grounded decisions.
Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote.
Responsibility for overseeing the implementation of election law typically resides with partisan officials, many with public stakes in the election outcome.
The government don't want to talk about the consequences of the choices they make. They pretend there aren't any consequences.
The people of America need personal responsibility and freedom, not dependency on the government.
All public officials, including the secretary of state, must be held accountable.
I don't think that voters should be fixated on public policy. In a healthy republic, they wouldn't have to worry every waking hour about what their government is doing.
At least the politicians are accountable to the voters.
