solutions might help, but certainly cannot totally eliminate fraud. IMO, nothing can. And a new constitution is hardly required to install those changes and other useful features such as photo voter ID to prevent non-citizens from interfering in America's internal affairs, double voting, etc.

I would be afraid of a parliament unbalanced by an independent executive. With only the judiciary to stand against them, I question how long they could hold out. An oligarchal dictatorship is no better than a single dictator.

Finally, I prefer a two party system. It generates, I believe a necessity for compromise, and cuts off the influence of the extremes. Which is a good think. The far, far, left is as totalitarian and dangerous as the far, far right. The present winner-take-all system guarantees that in most cases at least, a majority of the voters voted for the winner. I disregard fraud, of course. But no system can keep the crooks out if the people are not vigilant.
