Sometimes it smells like fish

Seems like election rigging stories are all over the place, a nice one here at skippy. Are there significantly more over all the place than before? Did something really change in the way people think the elections after 2000?

Electoral systems' function is not only to accuracy in counting the vote. It is to provide certain, obvious, un-doubtable results.

The second part, at the very least, took a hit the last time. Could it be that something like a free-for-all, cheat-because-surely-the-other-bastards-will attitude is spreading?

Crying wolf, hopefully, as i don't have really comparisons with the elections before.
