    Some have commented that the elections are already fraudulent, but I remain skeptical of this.

    A lot of things that other functioning democracies consider fraud or corruption are legal in the US. So elections aren’t technically fraudulent, but neither are they free or fair.

        I always find this weird because no matter how you draw the maps you’re tipping the scales one way or the other.

        I think the US system is broken more than most, but there isn’t really a “pure” system.
