Discuss examples of electoral incompetence.

1. Car accidents have tremendously risen in the past year. More often than not, many victims people lost their lives; while the survivors sustained injuries.An accident occurred in Centreville Grave Park when a Ford SUV rammed into a Mini Cooper. The accident claimed one life, while three others were injured. The Mini Cooper had one driver, an ex-marine officer, while the SUV had three male students. A fatal accident occurred around 10:15 PM when two cars, a Mini Cooper and an SUV, crashed at the junction of County Line Road and Highway 32. The SUV ignored the red light and hit the Mini Cooper. The drive of the Cooper died on arrival at the hospital. O’Neill, a Sargent in Centerville PD, said that the man identified as Garrett Johnson, a US marine officer who had just completed an Afghanistan assignment. Occupants of the SUV were learners in a middle school in Centerville. One of the three teenagers in the vehicle was the son to Porter Pierce, the founder of a local company that makes a computer. O’Neill added they received beer cans in the SUV. The deceased was married and had one daughter.(1. Comment- Nothing in that lead was given in the info. That’s a broadcast lead make it print style.)2. The 2020 vice presidential debate has come when President Trump is infected with the Coronavirus, which has cumulatively killed 210,000 Americans. Further, the country has been facing nationwide racial unrest and a fight for power in America’s Supreme Court. The participants include; Kamala Harris, a 55-year-old woman aspiring to become the first female VP in America’s history. She is currently the senator in California, a former lawyer, and a tough interrogator in congress. Against 61-year-old Mike Pence, the current Republican Vice-president and a deeply religious man from Indiana. The debate was held at the Kingsbury Hall, the University of Utah, seating Mike Pence and Kamala Harris 12 feet apart, with a plexiglass shield between them to prevent the spread of the corona Virus.Mike Pence is known to debate forcefully without raising his voice. He was expected to defend Trump and his administration and the administration’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Mike Pence is the head of the Presidential pandemic task force. On the other hand, Kamala Harris debates in a controlled manner as a former lawyer. Analysts expect Kamala to criticize the administration’s response to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, respond to the continuing racial unrest, and the Supreme Court fallout. According to political analysts, Kamala will be questioned about her record while serving as California’s attorney general.The vice-presidential debate is crucial, as the two debaters are both potential future presidential candidates. Mike Pence frequently projects a yes man persona to an assertive president. In this debate, he must appear as a strong leader ready to take over presidential roles if necessary. Kamala Harris, a powerful and effective leader, should try and steer away from her prosecutor’s past and focus on the American issues she cares about and how she will work with Biden if he becomes president.(2. Comment- The lead does not get to the point. GET TO THE POINT!)The people in my generation do not believe the elections will be safe and fair. Americans no longer trust the electoral following the recent events that have given voters cause for skepticism. Without democracy, the legitimacy of the electoral process is questioned. Voters believe the election will be unfair because of three major threats: voter suppression, dirty tricks, and electoral incompetence. The three risks are a threat to voters’ confidence in having a safe and fair election process. When we talk about voter suppression, people lack confidence in the process following what has happened over the last voting processes. For instance, the Republicans have made it harder for people to vote, particularly those that are likely to vote for Democrats. The threat undermines voter’s confidence because Republicans believe that democrats are either stealing or cheating elections. Voter fraud is common in urban areas, especially areas with minority voters, who are Democrats. Talking of electoral incompetence, there are areas where elections are facilitated in an incompetent way. A good example involved Brenda Snipes, who was in charge of Broward County in Florida. During the election, she failed to send 58,000 ballots by mail, which had been requested. In another instance, she left the Medical marijuana initiative off the voting process. Due to these incidences, she was forced out of the office. Such examples depict electoral incompetence,
