Then why in the hell do we elect such people as we do?

I don't know that we do.

We have rampant Democrat-perpetrated vote fraud in practically ever major population center (of which they control most).

If we ever get the fraud under control, I suspect the dramatic shift in election results would surprise both sides.

I agree. I think there is probably 10-20% Democrat advantage due to vote fraud and a slavishly favorable press corps.

I have a solution to the fraud problem though. First require a picture ID at the poll. Next require all ballots to be securely collected in a locked container. anyone who handles that container would have to do so in the presence of an observer and both would be required to sign a chain of custody for that container of votes. Any discrepancies found in that container would result in mandatory treason charges and likely execution of anyone listed on the chain of custody.

It's all about motivation.
