The system has always been manipulated. The republic started with only male property owners able to vote, Then all Adult Males, Then the suffragette movement culminated in giving women the vote. ID has always been required. But the fraud allowing illegals to vote with a drivers license, dead people, nursing home patients with dimentia, has broken the vote. Add to this the take over of cities by democrats who steal the funds and plunge these metropolis' into crisis, you have the current broken system.
The two party system was created and manipulated into a facade by the elites and cabal for over 100 years.
The secrets act of 1947, severed the accountability of the bureaucratic state to congress, the president and we the people.
