i guess problems with our election would matter more if it would change the outcome. i hope they improve our system, of course. and our exit polls did not reveal such a nation-wide disparity. that's 11 percentage points of a lead, so it's a 14 point difference from the outcome.
over there the fraud may have changed the outcome. the candidate that won is more pro-russia, backed by putin. in case you haven't been paying attention, democracy hasn't been faring so well in russia lately. putin wants to appoint local leaders instead of have them elected. even the communists are complaining about the lack of democratic practice in russia. so we are likely concerned about this election because of the close russian interests.
