You're begging the question with respect to what is "free" and "fair." The US is neither by any reasonable definition of these words.

See, I can do that too.

In large part, people do not have that kind of agency, and telling them they do is deceptive liberal bullshit.

Free: there are no longer Jim Crow laws[0], such as voting poll taxes[1].

Fair: each eligible voter whom casts a vote in US elections has it included in the vote tally (see below).

Every eligible voter has the ability to cast their vote in one form or another. In extenuating circumstances, some votes will not be included. I am neither a constitutional nor civil rights lawyer, so will not attempt to clarify those situations beyond acknowledging they exist.

I will not further engage in this thread as my interpretation of your replies thus far is they are not based in intellectually honest discourse.

Insufficient definition.
