it seems that any allegedly free, supposedly fair, and arguably transparent election system ought to be considered broken once the would-be electorates can be bought off w/ money siphoned from other could-be voters, more dollar equates to more votes, and dead people can vote
and once the system is broken, it could be that whatever the system throws up as candidates are automatically suspect, guilty until proven fine, just as would an industrial quality control system works
but if the candidates had never done a days of true work, and never governed any entity remotely akin to a population aggregate, then the merit of proof would be difficult to come by
and presumably the electorates must fall back on sound bites, smiles, and cheers, much as would a sporting event but one garnished w/ bread & circus
all complicated by the genuine smudges and true faults of the candidates that the system throws up
interesting experiment, albeit the time that may be lost, 4 to 8 years at a clip, may no longer be affordable
