A system where virtually all the candidates are selected by this or that minority or branch stacked branch! Which should be entirely emasculated by the introduction of primaries to select all the candidates with the two leading from whatever party going on to contest a winner takes all election!
Thereby eliminating the backroom deals and the power brokers from our clearly corrupt system!
I like the fact that we have an independent electoral commission, who are responsible for holding the ballot and the subsequent count.
As for the U.S. sysem and the possible role of the supreme court to adjudicate outcomes, from a position of possible political bias?
What is good for the goosey goose, is good for the goosey, goosey gander. Something the clearly corrupted, current republican senate should remember when this particular pigeon comes home to roost!
