You'll know the news is honest when CNN talking heads start reporting with Soros jizz all over their faces.

I think Laziness, Despair, and Apathy, are the key problems. If turnout is high then vote rigging shennanigans either won't work, or would require such a vast amount of rigging it would be undeniably obvious.
The advantage is that most vote rigging happens in the primaries. Usually either candidate is acceptable to the Deep State and Overmighty Subjects. Such would be the case if it was Jeb! vs. Hillary, or McCain vs. Obama, or Bush vs. Gore/Kerry. So the "Opposing Force" is a little afraid and definitely inexperienced in rigging General Elections.
Back in 1992, the only real problem was Ross Perot, as both HW Bush and Clinton were both for NAFTA.
"The US government does not represent the interests of the majority of the country's citizens, but is instead ruled by those of the rich and powerful, a new study from Princeton and Northwestern Universities has concluded
The only way to confront this matter is to nominate and vote for individuals like Bernie Sanders. It's certainly not going to happen by nominating self serving demagogues who are themselves oligarchs who enjoy divide and conquer games.

The lawyers and media being dishonest and attempting to confuse people does not help matters. It's times like these when gun rights become of heightened importance.

A new study, confirming the Princeton study of a few years ago, finds that:
"The US government does not represent the interests of the majority of the country's citizens, but is instead ruled by those of the rich and powerful, a new study from Princeton and Northwestern Universities has concluded.
The report, entitled Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens, used extensive policy data collected from between the years of 1981 and 2002 to empirically determine the state of the US political system.
After sifting through nearly 1,800 US policies enacted in that period and comparing them to the expressed preferences of average Americans (50th percentile of income), affluent Americans (90th percentile) and large special interests groups, researchers concluded that the United States is dominated by its economic elite.
The peer-reviewed study, which will be taught at these universities in September, says: "The central point that emerges from our research is that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on US government policy, while mass-based interest groups and average citizens have little or no independent influence."
