There was various kinds of tampering in 2016 and little, if anything, has been done to stop it.
There's the foreign interference.
There's the incredibly insecure voting machines.
There's the lack of paper ballots.
There's the gerrymandering.
There's the disenfranchisement of massive numbers of voters.
There's the possibility of actual hacking.
There's rampant corruption.

We can't pin our hopes on the Presidential election if our system is broken.

So don't put your words in my mouth.

How can you argue that you don't know if the election system is fair or not after you listed the above?

(16,829 posts)These factors are real, not invented. We KNOW that there was foreign interference in 2016 because it was reported by the intelligence community. We DON'T KNOW whether or how much it affected the out come of the election.
Are you getting it now?

(36,327 posts)Why not ask those who voted that our country is not capable of a fair presidential election why they voted the way they did when, in your words, "We DON'T KNOW whether or how much it affected the out come of the election."?
Are you getting it now?
