56. The voting systems and its mechanisms in the USA are a disgraceful mess...

This goes way beyond any squabble over the Democratic Party primary voting.

U.S. elections ranked worst among Western democracies. Here’s why.
The 2015 annual Year in Election report compares the risks of flawed and failed elections, and looks at how well countries around the world meet international standards. The report gathers assessments from over 2,000 experts to evaluate the perceived integrity of all 180 national parliamentary and presidential contests held between July 1, 2012, and Dec. 31, 2015, in 139 countriese. These include 54 national elections held last year...
....The 2012 U.S. presidential election ranks 60th out of 180 elections worldwide, close to Bulgaria, Mexico and Argentina.

This is no one-time shortcoming. The 2014 U.S. congressional elections rank even worse, 65th out of 180 worldwide.
