    It’s only on par with the zero reported voter fraud in Russian elections!

    I’m sorry, but some of us consider the electoral college and gerrymandering voter fraud.

      Fraud involves falsifying documents. The Electoral College and gerrymandering can be unfair, but they are not fraudulent.

        Sorry, the term fraud has no such requirements, nor does the term voter fraud (although you could argue it is not because the practice is not illegal, whereas my counterargument would be it that any system that considers it legal is already questionably not so). Anyway, have fun reaping what you sow, it has been a broken system for decades with no shortage of denialists like you. It’s not going to get fixed when the system is at its worst as it is now.

          Alright. Here’s the definition pulled from Google

          wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.

          I don’t think you understand what I’m saying though. I don’t like the electoral college, but it’s not fraud. I don’t deny any election results. It’s just that words mean things and nobody is lying about how the electoral college works or how gerrymandering works.

          The electoral college is in the US Constitution so calling it a wrongful deception is a weird take.
