The Electoral Integrity Project

The Year in Elections, 2013 - The Electoral Integrity Project:
"By contrast, the United States ranked 26th out of 73 elections under comparison worldwide, the lowest score among Western nations, falling into the Moderate Integrity category."
One spot higher than Mexico and six higher than Cuba... Go uhmurica!!!!!

On problems with elections
In fact, however, campaign finance and campaign media coverage are the weakest links in the electoral cycle 
Contrary to much attention by journalists and scholars, the end-stages of the electoral cycle, involving the process of vote tabulation, electoral procedures, and the announcement of the final results, were assessed by experts as the least problematic stage.
The major flaws of elections are campaign finance and media coverage or,..  money and propaganda, a couple of things American Capitalism does very well.  We're advertising and buying our way to the bottom

Once again, Go uhmurica!!!!!

and,. on a related note

[The Big Money].

At some point it would be easier/less expensive to just buy the other guy. you know,.. free markets and everything. Everyone has their price. A few people have the money. There's no reason the Koch's couldn't just buy Obama.
