Nobody claims the US election system is perfect---in contrast to the UK system, which of course is a model for the world.   This is why the UK electorate is so happy with its current leadership.


The idea that the US system is perfect is what is known as a straw man.   Perhaps, Richard, as a lawyer, you've heard of this concept?

By the way, if you have proof--as opposed to allegations-- of tampering with voting machines in 2012, please provide a link. Obviously we would seek to eliminate any such tampering.

And, yet again, since you seem to be amazingly slow on the uptake, the main problem with dwelling on possible corruption, rather than the importance of voting, is that it encourages people not to vote--already a huge problem in the US.

The focus should always be on raising turnout.
