    The Russian election was “rigged” in that there was only controlled opposition

    No, it was rigged in that there was election fraud.

      In the same way every election in the US was due to “election fraud”?

      If election fraud is so easy, maybe democracy isn’t that great a deal…

        The results of the US elections at the presidential level are not due to election fraud though so you do not really have a point.

          That’s not my claim, that’s the claim of the party claiming to represent about half of Americans’ interests.

        You make Venedictov, Sobyanin, Churov and Pamfilova happy. You have been elected with 146% votes.
