What gives you the idea that Elections would be cleanly fought, and fair in other countries...??

Even in this bastion of democracy, Blighty, the introduction of postal ballots and other dubious polling rules, and ever moving boundaries make a mockery of fair play.

It has been proven beyond doubt that postal ballots are abused.

Take the states... Someone wins the popular vote, but not the presidency....???
