I am astonished that there are so much people not allowed to vote in the US, then there are completely different voting systems in the different states, and that millions of voters cannot vote because they dropped off the official list, by mistake.
But my take is most people have no real idea how their system really works, and they do not care much, also here. Otherwise, with a better understanding, there probably would be a rebellion.
On the other hand even a vast majority of voters would not lead to 'their' president being elected. Frankly i do not see a 'democracy' at work. Not there, not here, not in the UK.
