- a1369209993 5y agoNah, US election riggers are significantly better at subtlety (or care enough to bother, at least). Hence eg the ruling party (the Democratic and Republican Party) being nominally two separate political parties.
- lostlogin 5y agoMaybe not more subtle, but more subtle than the Russians.
- vkou 5y agoThe US largely accomplishes its elections through corrupt primaries, gerrymandering, and voter suppression. Not all of this is relevant for every race - you can't gerrymander your way into the federal senate, for instance - but you can use it to get a 60% red legislature in a 52% blue state. It looks better when the police uses violence to prevent problem people from voting, than to manufacture votes out of thin air.
