WITH LESS THAN ONE month until the 2020 presidential election in the United States, research shows that the integrity of the country's elections has compared poorly to other democracies in recent years – and questions remain over how the Nov. 3 contest will turn out in the era of the coronavirus pandemic.
A 2019 report published by the Electoral Integrity Project, an independent project based out of Harvard University, found that U.S. elections from July 2012 through December 2018 rated "lower than any other long-established democracies and affluent societies."

By the way, the US scored 61 on the Election Integrity scale. That was the same as Mexico, and lower than every country in Western Europe. I wonder how much lower the Democrats will be pushing our score.
“other democracies”
I think we are out of that class
Most countries in Europe surveyed computerized voting around 2008-to-2010, and then wrote laws to prevent their use...even in sheet-reading.
All members of the EU require a national ID card. Most countries in the EU require you to report your new residence within 30 days of moving in, and only by this method can you be registered to vote in the district/city.
No country in Europe reports any issue with dead people voting.
I don’t care about democracies. How does it compare to other republics?
“...U.S. Election Integrity Compares Poorly to Other Democracies.....”
Poorly? Just poorly????
How about the very bottom of the stinkin’ 3rd world barrel would be more like it. It’s a total disgrace...the world is laughing its azz off at us.
Interesting. Thanks for that EU info.
And as I side note, I was a member of a union for decades. It was much tougher to vote in a union election than it was to vote in a governmental election.
To vote in a union election, you had to show ID at the door AND be vouched for by one of the door guys. Just one or the other wasn’t good enough.
Since the USA is the biggest military power in the world. Its internal domestic stability and elections are a primary target for every foreign power out there.
Disgusting BS from our government at all levels!
> Poorly? Just poorly???? <
This report came out in 2019. I’m sure the one covering 2020 will be a real doozy.
Voter ID and in person voting (besides certain excuses such military service or someone is in the hospital)
This isn’t rocket science.
It cracks me up that we have the nerve to send election monitors to other countries.
“Voter ID and in person voting (besides certain excuses such military service or someone is in the hospital)

It’s working as designed.
It’s designed to be easily manipulated.
If anything, this mess has put some sunshine on what a joke our elections are, and on a global scale. Not that that’s going to stop Commiecrats from stealing them in the future.
This came out of Harvard?
I’m shocked as Harvard is no Right-leaning institution.
> This came out of Harvard? <
I noticed that too. And I’m surprised that they didn’t delete everything after Biden was “elected”.
We need all voters to dip their fingers in purple ink after voting, like they do in Afghanistan.
Our system is the laughing stock of the world. Zimbabwe has more transparent elections.
Contradiction in terms.
