We've got a lot of nerve trying to tell the rest of the world how to run an election when ours is so corrupt, and with Lobbying like we do, it's nothing but bribery is it not?

The rest of the world wonders why only 40 - 55% turned out to the polls. And who is the other half?

I don't think it's the best system in the world. In Germany (as in France, UK, Italy, Australia, Japan, etc) you get the results two hours after poll's closed.
And it's not on the Supreme Court to decide who will be the next president. It's the people.
So, obviously, there is something to complain about in your country, when you teached other countries (as Germany. And we're thankful!) how to vote.

The voting techniques are certainly the worst in the western world.

so would you rather duck and cover to protect yourself from bombs and guns at the polling booths? and would you like to stick your finger in a vat of ink after you vote. Oh and if you don't vote for the right person would you want your head cut off. Sure we have a few problems but its the best system in the world. Stop complaining.

The Islamic radicals think it's wonderful ... they were pushing for the dems to win ... so they can now claim victory

I like that it's modern (we still use paper and pencil)
I don't like that it's not reliable (unlike paper and pencil)
I don't like that it's not compulsory to vote.
