California Congressman Eric Swalwell has ignited a debate on election reform by proposing a statewide phone voting system as a cornerstone of his newly announced campaign for governor.
Speaking on CNN on Saturday in what would be his first interview since announcing his candidacy for governor, Swalwell said he wants to have the option of phone-in voting available for the state's residents. Swalwell compared the suggestion to being able to file taxes and book healthcare appointments online. The Democratic congressman explained that his goal for California is to do more than 'just a little better' compared to predominantly Republican states when it comes to voting.
