Give it a little thought huh? You are comparing our mature 2oo year old republic with a country ruled by the last remnants of the old Soviet kleptocracy. All they did was change hats and flags in 1991. The people there have every reason to believe the election may in fact have been stolen.
"Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide
everything."
Josef Stalin
I quoted this often during the last two presidential elections!
