Vote manipulation is like Hollywood pedophilia, open secrets. Politicians have been stuffing ballot boxes since the boxes existed. To believe that someone wouldn’t take every advantage available in a high stakes competition is redundant. Our current election system is like steroids in sports, you shut one door and they find an alternative.
It's worse than that. Our current election system is like an honor system between parties who represent an existential threat to one another. Imagine trusting your mortal enemies to count your votes.

Only a fool would think anything has changed.
Remember when the mobs ran unions and unions became the biggest spenders in politics? Remember how JFK won Chicago? But our Integrity!!!
Bill Clinton was kind of crime boss, and got presidency
His wife wanted to drone strike a journalist , and she came very close to being elected.
But if you're Rudy Giuliani and say that you can be disbarred.
