#1 We generally monitor other elections if requested, mainly because we have a couple of centuries experience of what shenanigans are possible in a given system. If there's a crooked way to undetectably fix an election, it's an odds-on bet that an American invented it. Bob Mugabe ain't got nothin' on Frank Rizzo and Richard (Da Mayor) Daley.

#2 I think requiring a fingerprint as well as a signature to get a ballot, and requiring complete re-registration every four years would do a lot to clear out the fraud in the system. And if the deadbeat dads are too intimidated to show up, that's a feature, not a bug!

#5 that the electronic voting had fewer fail-safes than in Venezuela

Maybe because we have better software?

Besides, don't you have to kill trees to get paper ballots?

that the ballots were not so simple as in the Republic of Georgia

Buddy, it's called having "candidates". You know, more than one person running? Yeah, too friggin' complex, but that's the way we like it...
