One man, one vote. That's the American way...

And turning copious amounts of money into a clamour of distorting and downright disingenuous 'facts' to terrorise, confuse and trick voters into giving over their vote is also the American way. And then there's the outright bribes...

America~'s~ Fuck~ed~! Yeah!

Sigh.
