Observing third world elections is on my bucket list.
Election and voting chicanery happens plenty in the USA. No need to look abroad. Merely lifting the floor here would be transformative.
The silver lining from the oversteer triggered by Gore v Bush 2000 is that HAVA did lead to greater federal involvement in our locally administered elections. eg Election Assistance Commission http://eac.gov is now fairly proactive.
