Is electoral fraud really such a big problem in the USA?
Ever heard of the electoral college?

I'm talking about electoral fraud, where some votes for the opposition aren't counted, or votes for the "winning side" are inflated.

I'm not saying it's fair, just that it doesn't constitute electoral fraud. I happen to agree with you that it isn't fair, and I've already proposed (in the other thread) that Alternative Vote is a better (and fairer) way of deciding elections with one winner.

Of course, every country has UFOs, but you guys have enthusiasts that at least rival ours.I've honestly never heard much about UFO stories in the UK. You guys have an entire town devoted to UFOs (Roswell)...I think you guys win this competition.
R, You were the one who said fraud was involved.
We think the system is a sham.
...and sure, there have been many cases of electoral fraud throughout American history..but what I call the entire system is a sham.
