1. We've known our elections have had issues for some time and we haven't worked on it.

That in my opinion is silent complicity. You cannot complain about it being rigged if you've done nothing to fix the suspect parts. We've known of issues since 2000 and didn't work on it, and 2016 is what we deserve for failing to address holes that trump drove right through.

Future elections will be no better if we continue do nothing about it.

How far are we from Turkey? Not very far in my opinion. Hell, we may vote trump King next time for all we know and we won't have a right to say shit about it.
