US polls: An overview, with the present scenario

In a Democratic presidential debate that is said to be the last one before the results, independent Vermont Sen, Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were asked by a member of the audience whether they were in view of and supported ‘fracking’, that is, the oil and gas extraction and refinement methods, which has reportedly contributed tremendously to the country’s energy plethora. Sanders ’emphatically responded’ stating that he does not support it, whereas Clinton implicitly laid out several conditions that should be adhered to before taking a concrete decision in its view.

Meanwhile, in the polling system, endless hour-long waits for some Arizona citizens wanting to participate have led to many allegations of possible ‘voter suppression’ from the Democrats, alongwith the civil and human rights activists citing a decision by elections to apparently ‘slash the number of polling places’, this time. Republican Gov. Doug Ducey’s official spokesman, Daniel Scarpinato, in his statement to the media said that talks of the so-called ‘voter suppression’ is misplaced, however the governor wants the problems fixed. “It is totally unacceptable for people to have to wait in lines of that length to vote,” he further remarked.

Simultaneously, in the area of Phoenix, such an issue has been brewing for years now, over a blatant perception that the state leaders want to make it complicated for them to vote. Lawmakers belonging to the Republic, in recent years, have passed a series of stringent measures aimed at cracking down on voter fraud. However, the opponents call the changes to be merely ‘ploys to stifle Democratic turnout.’

President Obama, in the meanwhile, is on his tour to the nation of Cuba, which seems to be allying freshly. He said in his address that the country of Cuba could definitely learn a great deal from the ongoing tussles for Presidentship.
