2. It would seem to be a universal definition

personally if any one person is denied the right to cast their vote &
have their vote counted in a proper manner, then no election took place.
Don't like it, then make sure no one is denied the right to haver their vote cast and counted in the proper manner.

Seems like a simple plan, but not one that will insure the grip of power
to those that think they are entitled to it.
