There's a simple and easy way to fix this: COMPULSORY VOTING! All native-born or naturalised citizens 18 or older registered to vote, not for any particular party, just to vote. As well ALL polling booths use EXACTLY the same methods, which MUST NOT be electronic or mechanical device-based. That's how it's done here in Australia AND IT WORKS BRILLIANTLY!

Under a compulsory vote system, fringe groups with only a minority following(KKK, Nazis, Alt Right etc.) would see their vote cancelled out by the mainstream party votes. The fringe groups couldn't possibly hope to gain any kind of foothold in the system, no matter how much money they spend on their campaigns. But under the USA optional vote system, a fringe group can muster enough voter support to "get a foot in the door" if, through apathy, other voters, who might've voted Democrat or Republican in large enough numbers, stayed home and watched that umpteenth rerun of "Leave It To Beaver" instead of getting out to the polling station and voting. Those fringe parties would use democracy to "get into power" but once in, there goes democracy down the gurgle-hole(drain).

+WWZenaDo: My thoughts as well! Voting isn't so much a "right" as it is more a "duty" to your country". With compulsory voting, the unsavoury fringe parties' vote would be effectively nullified by the votes for established parties.

+Robert, we've had compulsory voting in Australia almost from Day 1. But then we get these far-right f**kwits like the former Prime Minister, Tony Abbott wanting to do away with it, and it's arseholes like Abbott and Corey Bernardi, Pauline Hanson and the likes with their backward-thinking far-right babble that make it an absolute imperative that we RETAIN compulsory voting that we can keep these sort of people out of our parliament, or at least limit the damage they could wreak on our parliament.

+Hakura Chii: Well, in Australia registration to vote occurs when you turn 18. Then you're registered to vote, but your choice of which party is your own. We in Australia are not "registered" to vote in a given way, we're not registered to vote Liberal or Labor, or for any other party that might spring up between now and our next federal or state election. There's a hell of a lot more to the Australian electoral system than I can tell you in this panel, and, to be honest, a lot more than I myself know of to be able to explain it with any clarity, but that could be true of any country's electoral system. Cheers!
