It seems safe to say that we can divide the population into two groups; those who want fair elections, and those who want to manipulate. That unfortunately leaves out those who don’t care or are unable to care. Nevertheless, an important part of government-by-the-people is confidence that elections are fair, meaning that the results reflect the desire of the greatest possible portion of the voters.
