Yeah, well that's a problem. Rigorous, fair, legal elections are the bedrock of our governmental system, and they're under serious attack these days.
What happens on the day when election results are announced and the system is so hopelessly broken that nobody trusts that the winner has anything to do with the voting? Do we rise up, at that point, and overthrow the diseased beast? Or do we shrug and change the channel?
My partisan jab for this thread: it's interesting to me that the pro-Democrat fraud is about getting ineligible people to vote (including, allegedly, dead people and criminals), whereas the pro-Republican fraud is about preventing eligible people from voting (via, allegedly, intimidation and lies). It's almost like the Republicans don't really want the vote to reflect what the public believes or wants.
