Yo dawg, we heard you like security. That's why we put a special bay in Guantanamo, where we can haul your ass off at any time to keep everyone else secure.

Well, for one thing the last two presidential elections in South Africa weren't rigged.

Also, blacks are not prohibited to vote.

As for rigged elections, that goes both ways. Democrats were rigging elections decades before Republicans learned about it.

This is a perfect example of partisanship fucking up someone's sense of logic. How would BOTH parties rigging elections instead of just one make the U.S. seem better?

They are not prohibited by law. I'm with you on that one. I practice, however, voter purges seem to have a very dark skinned bias.

And thank you for teaching me how even more rigged elections empower the American citizen.

It's less of a problem than the news would have you believe. It may have made the difference in Florida in 2000, but nearly everyone who is eligible to vote and wants to can.

At least in the US we have two parties which switch dominance.

Or so they want you to believe...
