Fulani Blames Sharpton, Not Bloomberg For Nonpartisan Elex Loss

Controversial NYC Independence Party activist Lenora Fulani says she’s “disappointed, of course, but not discouraged” that Mayor Bloomberg won’t ask the Charter Revision Commission to put the nonpartisan election question back before the voters this fall, but she declined to slam the mayor for his decision.

Instead, she laid the blame at the feet of the Democratic Party – specifically the Rev. Al Sharpton, who publicly declared his support for keeping the partisan primary system in place last weekend, saying nonpartisan elections would enable self-financed candidates like the billionaire mayor to take over the political system and disenfranchise minority voters.
