Most people presume that:

A. We’ll have an honest election process.

or

B. That we’ll have elections at all.

Either case is unlikely, and item B trumps item A.

There are two crucial elements of our system that are being eroded. One is the assumption of honest elections. One need only look at recent events in the MN Senate election and the WA state Governor contest (in 2004) for evidence that such is not the case. The other is the fallback in the event of dishonest elections, an honest and fair judicial process. Again, review of those disputed elections (and other cases) shows that we don't have this anymore, either.

So where do you go for honest and fair representative government when the elections are rigged? Where do you go for justice when the courts are crooked? Where do you go for protection when the police are criminals or under the control of dishonest thugs? Those are the traditional sanctuaries that peaceful and honest people have sought in dark times. When those are lacking, there isn't much alternative to chaos in the streets.
