SHAM ELECTIONS & SHAM CANDIDATES
Subverting Democracy Through Electoral Fraud
Highlights and Excerpt: Article covering many instances and types of electoral fraud, including: Constitutionally Flawed by Design, Proportional Representation v.

Kerry in Election 2004, Earlier Examples of Electoral Fraud, A Brief History of US Voting Rights, and How the Media Cover Presidential Politics.

Differences between them are minor. Not a dime's worth to matter. Both sides support corporate interests, imperial designs, aggressive wars, and the divine right of capital to exploit workers, gain new markets, control the world's resources, and rule it without challenge."
