Do you think our country is capable of a fair presidential election? [View all]

There was various kinds of tampering in 2016 and little, if anything, has been done to stop it.

There's the foreign interference.

There's the incredibly insecure voting machines.

There's the lack of paper ballots.

There's the disenfranchisement of massive numbers of voters.

There's the possibility of actual hacking.

There's rampant corruption.
