Yes, and I am saying that a poorly executed election in a broadly good system is better than a well executed election in a heavily flawed system.

There is not a democracy on Earth which has not had a constitutional crisis at some point or other, whether in elections or something else. I don't approve of how the US government dealt with the crisis in 2000, but I don't think it's the end of democracy, or of US democracy, or that it demonstates some fundamental and unfixable flaw in their system. I want better in the future, but that's the way of it. Political systems evolve as they make mistakes.
