    Comparing Russian elections to US elections may as well be comparing Vichy France elections to US elections. They are quite different beasts.

      Maybe, but I am more familiar Russian elections. Personal experience.

      Also important note: election fraud != voting fraud. Voting fraud is just one type of election fraud. In Russia most widespread type of election fraud is not registering candidates.

        Registering candidates in the US doesn’t matter, I could run for president or any other office and no one would reject my application to be on the ballot, unless I didn’t have enough signatures.

        I would be surprised if you’ve ever heard of Vermin Supreme, or any of the other third party candidates for US president, much less the lower offices.
