Fixing elections requires more than corrupt politicians.

In the United States' early days the 'Founding Fathers' realized the harshness of travel and created a system where people could cast their votes, then have special "electors" sent to the Capitol to voice the opinion of the people as to who should be president.
For this day and age it is absolutely absurd we don't use popular vote given the speed of communication.

That's another conversation.

It woild be extremely easy to find out that vote counts doesn't add up in each state. Corrupting the electoral college would be pointless as it would be immediatly apparent.
What you'd need is to rig the vote count in each state, or at least the swing ones which is a very severe conspiracy theory that would require some evidence ...

I have encountered way too much f'ed up stuff in my life to think anything is out of the realm of possibility.

How on Earth do we know once we hand in our paper-filled ballot that it actually makes it to the counter? Yes, we legit use a paper system to vote rather electronic, which makes it VERY easy to alter.

An electronic ballot is even easier to falsify.
Look up "hacking democracy", and that is with a "third party" agent, not the one that actually makes or program the machines.

California is losing its s***. Uh oh. Hopefully it happens in 10 other states as well... Welcome to the Divided States of America!

DSA DSA DSA! Wooo!

I voted for crooked Hillary. At least she isn't reading 'How to be president for dummies'. Some experience is better than none. *Shrugs*

This is the precise drawback of democracy. Rigged elections, dumbasses in the government, etc.
Don't complain about that which you aren't willing to change.

I, for one, would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the American people for a very entertaining clown show.

Yeah, and we are still wondering why our "electorates" did not choose Gore when we made the majority vote. There is supposed to be a direct link to popular and electoral vote, so explain to me how it is not corruption?
