Somehow, I doubt that some $hithole country has more capacity to run a fair election than us. The problem is that one of the main political parties not only has no interest in fairness, it has a huge upside to cheating and constantly standing in the way of simple but effective means to stop cheating.

Put a few dozen key people in jail for civil rights violations, fraud, lying under oath (because they WILL, they HAVE to do so), and then throw away the key. Do that, and this will slow down considerably. Either that, or we rinse, wash and repeat.

Our problem is we are the oldest democracy in the world, and unfortunately locked into an election system from the horse and buggy days, when fast communication was not available.

Can you imagine if IRS had an office in each of the 3242 counties in US, and each branch was responsible for processing taxes within the county. It would be replete with corruption. It is almost impossible to cheat IRS unless you are working in the underground economy.

But that is exactly what we have...3242 counties responsible to process voter ballots. Who will have the vision, courage and intestinal fortitude to bring elections into the modern era? Democrats won’t. They love the system. And republicans are scared of being called racists simply for requiring proper identification to vote.
