Sen. Elizabeth Warren unveiled a $20 billion plan to federalize national elections, notably by buying new voting machines for the entire country, standardizing ballots and making Election Day a holiday.
A few Buttigieg hometown problems:
- 40% of South Bend residents are African American or Hispanic, but the police department is nearly 90% white, according to IndyStar.
- Buttigieg fired the city's first black police chief after being on the job for three months. That made some of South Bend’s minority residents question "whether an ambitious white mayor had sided with white police officers against a black chief," per the NYT.
- Buttigieg has also been criticized for demolishing hundreds of vacant or abandoned homes in black and Latino neighborhoods while mayor.
