Ten bucks says that their elections feature signature verification,the printing,distribution and collection of ballots tightly regulated,observers allowed into counting areas at all times and purple ink placed on the fingers of those who have just voted.

IOW,their elections are more legitimate than Georgia's,Pennsylvania's,Michigan's,Wisconsin's...
