The USA electoral system is a joke, in my opinion. Then there's all the gerrymandering that occurs...when a party that's in power redesignates the boundaries of voting districts in order to improve its chances to win in the next election. Then there's election fraud, which I suspect is far more widespread than people realize. Then there's Diebold...no paper trail. Then there are ballot boxes that anyone can easily open immediately after the voting by pulling off the low-tack sticker that supposedly protects the results...and they could replace the real ballots with false ones. Then there's the corrupted Supreme Court and other levels of government who can compromise the process, as they did in 2000.

It's a game. The $ySStem plays. The people lose.
