Remember that the Founders did not trust the electorate - not even the
rich, white male landowners who made up the original electorate.  It is
too easy to fix any election - there have been myriad examples of
election fraud in just the past decade (and you can go back at least as
far as Roosevelt minor and STILL find election fraud).  I refer to the
two major parties as Corruptocrats and Republicrooks - and I refer to
senators and representatives as "pompous, primping, preening, posturing
prostitutes," you can use a picture of Jerry Nadler to illustrate the
point
