The results of every election is questionable, and should be proven to not be questionable.
Especially in the US, when it's been shown time and time again that Americans are not to be trusted by the government, via:
* TSA checks,
* clear bags at games,
* weapon bans in government buildings, even when cops carry firearms,
* required tax reporting followed by threats of audits
* police stops for driving no faster than the police
* ID requirements for voting, drinking, etc.
* disclosure of all banking and stock information
Perhaps this is warranted, or some of it is. But the government has also proven itself untrustworthy:
* congress making millions while in office from various deals, donations, and lobbying
* president assuming more authority than constitution permits
* senate not passing a budget for over a decade
* continuing resolutions that bring in tons of special interests to fund the government for a couple of weeks or months
* lack of increased members of the House, causing power concentrating in a handful of Representatives.
* abandoning US military hardware and allies in a foreign country to fend for themselves at the cost of human lives and billions of dollars
* weaponized audits by the IRS and political decisions to investigate by the FBI.
Yeah, the government deserves to be blindly trusted.
