Election system improves but no evidence of broad rigging
The piece argues that while election systems are not perfect they are generally accessible and trustworthy. Gerrymandering voter ID laws and long polling lines exist but overall U.S. elections are increasingly accurate and transparent with county to state reporting, rapid results, and growing use of technology. It mentions Lyndon Johnson's 1948 primary as a cited cheat example and notes Julie Doll, a Garden City native and former journalist, has worked in multiple states.
